DES-Cone™ Safety Zone
DES-Cone™ introduces the first system in the UK that alerts traffic management teams and everyone on site before an incursion reaches the cones, lamps or working area.
Current systems react after the event.
DES-Cone™ acts before the impact zone is breached.

DES-Cone™Safety Zone
The DES-Cone™ system builds a connected safety net across the full site, from the taper to the final cone in the run.
The result is smarter, safer and more efficient traffic management supported by real-time insight and rapid automated alerts.
DES-Cone™ links every cone through an on-site neural network. Each cone lamp contains a microchip sensor. Every 500 meters, a 360 degree AI camera with built-in ANPR watches the full zone.
A new standard of intelligence
and safety for UK traffic
management
When an incursion begins, the system reacts in 0.1 seconds.
Buzzers and warning lights activate instantly across the zone to warn those at highest risk.
The cameras capture all incidents for review, with pre and post event footage stored securely. Data is sent directly to your portal for full visibility and reporting.
The next step in UK TM innovation
Cone movement and collisions remain a major risk. Monitoring is limited and manual. DES-Cone™ changes that by predicting and detecting activity before an incident reaches the work zone.
Key outcomes :
- Potential to save lives by giving workers crucial seconds of early warning

Additional risk reduction with automated low battery alerts
All DES-Cone™ lamps contain an automated 10% battery notification. Every cone. Every site.
This supports safer maintenance planning and reduces unnecessary lamp changes, lowering the risks to operatives carrying out routine checks.
Fully scalable
DES-Cone™ is fully scalable and supports unlimited scheme lengths. It suits lane closures, contraflows and major project work. It reduces manual checks, lowers fuel use and cuts emissions while increasing safety in real time.
Evolution in site safety
DES-Cone™ pushes the industry to the next evolution point in site safety creating visibility, intelligence and rapid intervention across the entire network.
