SonoBlaster® is an impact-activated safety device that warns work crews and errant vehicle drivers simultaneously to help prevent crashes and injuries in work zones.
The NCHRP 350 accepted SonoBlaster® mounts on typical work zone barricades, cones, drums, delineators, A-frames and other barriers. Upon impact of an errant vehicle, the SonoBlaster's built-in CO2 powered horn blasts at 125 dB to signal workers that their protective zone has been violated, giving them critical reaction time to move out of harms way.
Work Zone Use
The SonoBlaster® unit is cocked using a simple keychain tool. The unit is then placed on the roadway while in "safe" mode. The control knob is then rotated from "safe" to "ready" position. The unit is then "armed" and ready to protect the work zone.

Work zone injuries involving workers harmed by their own equipment (such as back-up accidents) is a growing problem. SonoBlaster® audibly pinpoints the source of danger by warning workers when heavy equipment enters their "safe" area.
