Audible Cone Alert Systems, Inc.
How AudibleCone™ Functions When Vehicles and People Share Space
AudibleCone™ is an Active Alert Safety System designed to provide audible and tactile (wearable device) active alerts when a deployed cone-mounted sensor is impacted.
Responsibility for safety planning and deployment remains with the deploying organization.

The Core Risk: Intrusions and Reaction Time
In roadway and roadside environments, workers may need to respond to unexpected vehicle intrusion events.
Even with proper traffic control setups, PPE, and training, awareness may be affected by noise, visual complexity, or low-visibility conditions.
Traditional safety controls rely on driver compliance and worker perception. In environments affected by distraction, fatigue, or reduced situational awareness, this reliance can increase exposure to intrusion risk.
AudibleCone™ is intended to provide audible and tactile (wearable device) active alerts when a deployed cone-mounted sensor is impacted.
Passive Controls vs. Active Alerts
Passive Safety Measures
- Cones, barrels, and channelization devices
- Signage and visual warnings
- PPE and high-visibility apparel
- Training and procedures
These measures are essential and often mandated. They rely primarily on human perception and compliance.
Active Alerts with AudibleCone™
- Activated when a deployed cone-mounted sensor is impacted
- Initiates audible and tactile (wearable device) active alerts
- Designed to deliver multi-sensory active alerts
- Intended to support trained response protocols
Active alerts introduce an additional alert layer within existing safety frameworks.
System Flow: From Boundary to Response
Step 1: Boundary Defined
Safety zones are established using existing cones and traffic control layouts appropriate to the jurisdiction and environment.
Step 2: Intrusion Detected
A cone-mounted sensor is activated when impacted within the defined boundary.
Step 3: Alert Triggered
The system initiates audible and tactile (wearable device) active alerts.
Step 4: Wearable Alert Delivered
Alerts are delivered through wearable devices intended for use in high-noise and PPE environments.
Step 5: Worker Response
Alerts are intended to support pre-established, trained response procedures.
Why Active Alerts Matter for Awareness
Awareness may be delayed before a worker consciously recognizes a potential hazard.
AudibleCone™ delivers audible and tactile (wearable device) active alerts when a deployed cone-mounted sensor is impacted.
By supplementing human attention with system-based alerts, AudibleCone™ supports the transition from task focus to trained response behavior in conditions such as:
- High-noise environments
- Low-visibility conditions
- Night work
- Situations where workers may be facing away from traffic
Intended to Integrate, Not Instruct
AudibleCone™ introduces an active alert layer within existing safety frameworks in conditions such as:
The system does not prescribe cone layouts, spacing, or traffic control methods, which vary by jurisdiction, environment, and application.
Organizations retain full responsibility for safety zone configuration in accordance with applicable standards and policies.
What AudibleCone™ Does Not Replace
AudibleCone™ is intended to augment, not replace, mandated safety measures, including:
- Traffic cones or channelization devices
- Signage and warning systems
- Flaggers and traffic control personnel
- PPE requirements
- Training and safety procedures
