States Procuring Road Sensors

What’s happening? States are procuring road sensors that can sense climate issues, when truck tires are unsafe and near blowout, detours, road closures, and alert EMS.

Why is this important? We’ve chatted about roads that can charge EVs, these sensors are safety oriented.

How will this be important? Other tire safety checks at weigh stations have been shown to save lives. Sensors also have the potential to save lives.
