Visibility into developing road hazards so operators can warn drivers and respond before risk becomes harm.
A road that is safe at noon can be dangerous by evening. Water crossing low sections, flooded underpasses and sudden weather changes put drivers and road crews at risk, often with very little warning. Road Hazard Monitoring from ToltHawk gives operators a live view of conditions at known problem spots, so decisions are made with information instead of assumptions.
Hazards tend to appear at the same vulnerable places: low water crossings, dips, underpasses and roads beside waterways. Yet these locations are often unmonitored. Operators rely on patrols, public reports or luck, which means closures can come too late—or roads can be closed unnecessarily because no one can confirm conditions.
ToltHawk sensors are placed at high-risk road locations and measure conditions remotely. When readings reach a configured threshold, alerts can help operators issue warnings, close a road or send crews. Because readings are recorded, teams can also review conditions as water levels recede and make better-informed reopening decisions alongside their established safety procedures.
Monitor known problem locations and route current readings and alerts to the people responsible for road safety.
Choose crossings, underpasses, low spots and road sections that repeatedly experience problems.
Position sensors to capture relevant conditions at the selected site. Mounting details depend on the road layout and monitoring objective.
Readings are sent to the dashboard so operators can review changing conditions remotely.
Configured alerts inform decisions about warnings, closures and dispatching crews.
Give operators a chance to respond before drivers reach a dangerous section.
Use local readings to inform closure decisions and help assess when conditions have improved.
Reduce unnecessary checks at locations where remote data provides adequate visibility.
Help protect drivers, passengers and road workers by making developing hazards easier to see.
Keep historical readings that support after-event reviews and operational accountability.
Monitor crossings and road segments that are difficult or time-consuming to patrol.
Give road and emergency teams more visibility at locations where water and changing conditions can interrupt safe travel.
Watch hazard-prone corridors, crossings and underpasses.
Monitor low-lying streets and road sections vulnerable to flooding.
Use current local conditions to help inform route and response decisions during severe weather.
Monitor remote crossings that are difficult to inspect frequently.
Integration options depend on the selected device, communication setup and roadside equipment. Contact ToltHawk to confirm whether your warning signs or alert system can be supported.
Remote reporting options can include cellular, satellite and LoRaWAN, depending on the device configuration and available coverage at the site.
Yes. Multiple monitoring locations can be reviewed through a central dashboard, making it easier to compare conditions across a road network.
Readings and alerts can support the decision, but reopening should follow your agency's safety procedures and any required on-site checks. A sensor reading should not replace established road-safety protocols.
