ImpactAlert

Remote impact detection with ImpactAlert

Our compact, weatherproof impact sensor mounts directly to crash cushions, guardrails and utility poles—no drilling, no disruption. When a collision occurs, it instantly transmits alerts via its built-in cellular modem, giving DOTs real-time insights into damage location and severity. Fast, accurate reporting helps reduce repair delays, boost field staff safety, and keep roads operating efficiently.

Instant alerts. Faster response. Safer roads.

ImpactAlert™ is a compact, wireless impact detection sensor designed to instantly notify road operators when a roadside safety device—like a crash cushion, guardrail, or utility pole—has been hit. No more relying on visual inspections or delayed reports. With real-time alerts and precise location tracking, maintenance crews can respond faster, reduce exposure to traffic, and improve overall road safety.

When every second counts, ImpactAlert delivers.

How it works:

Detect – When a roadside asset is struck, ImpactAlert senses the collision
Notify – The system sends an immediate alert (text/email) with GPS coordinates and timestamp
Respond – Crews are dispatched with the right info, reducing time spent on site and improving safety
Report – Event data is stored within the RoadConnect™ platform for future analysis and planning

Instant notifications.

When an impact occurs, ImpactAlert transmits a real-time alert via cellular network—so crews know exactly when and where an asset was struck.

Accurate location and data.

Each sensor includes GPS tracking to pinpoint the impact site and logs valuable data like time of impact and severity.

Quick, non-invasive installation.

Mounts directly to crash cushions, barriers, poles, and more—no drilling or power supply required.

Improves safety and uptime.

Faster response equals less risk to crews and drivers, and quicker repair timelines to keep roads operational.

Low maintenance, long battery life.

Rugged, weatherproof design and multi-year battery means less time maintaining and more time protecting.

Ideal applications:

Crash cushions
Guardrails
Poles or signs
Construction zones
High-impact corridors
...and much more!

Trusted by DOTs and road operators across North America.

ImpactAlert is already helping transportation agencies detect incidents faster, reduce secondary accidents, and better allocate maintenance resources.
