Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs)

AWP Safety invests in next-generation technology to enhance public safety and improve customer efficiency. For many worksites, Automated Flagger Assistance Devices (AFADs) offer the perfect solution.

AFADs are smart, wireless and automated machines that our Protectors operate from the safety of a roadside position. This positions the Protector closer to your crews for better communication, and allows the equipment to do the work of alerting motorists that they are approaching and entering a worksite.

AFAD Benefits

  • Safe– Missouri DOT found that motorists are more responsive to AFADs, and that 80% of drivers prefer AFADs over human flaggers.* The onboard Google/Waze technology also diverts straffic around work sites, reducing the risk of accidents.

 

  • Efficient – in most cases one Protector can tow, install and operate multiple AFAD devices, allowing other teammates to cover more worksites. The portability of the units means when your zone moves, we can easily move with it.

 

  • Reliable – Our AFADs are durable and made to handle any scenario. Devices communicate on a secure network and are powered by solar power and 33A motorcycle batteries ensuring uninterrupted service no matter the terrain.
