Flitsmeister users will soon also be warned of stationary vehicles, management via the popular app. A brilliant idea, since the past few years, often serious accidents have occurred by unwary motorists that the Rijkswaterstaatauto’s overlooked.

There is already in Flitsmeister is notified if an ambulance is approaching with sirens, but soon we will also still vehicles of RWS, a warning to generate. A fantastic idea to have the heroes and lanes afblokken in hazardous situations (such as accidents or obstructions on the roadway) a safer life.

The men of Flitsmeister do this together with Sireneradar. It is, in the first instance to a three-month trial of ten highways inspectors. The test takes place in Flevoland, a western province of Overijssel, the A1 from junction Muiderberg to junction Hoevelaken, the A6 and the A27 from junction Eemnes – Almere, the N50 junction Hattemerbroek junction Emmeloord and the A28 motorway from junction Hoevelaken to Hattemerbroek.

At the time that a pickup of Rijkswaterstaat, a lane afblokt and his car diagonally across the lane, by the driver, a GPS signal is sent. This is in the app, registered, and then notifies the directors that the RWS car approaching on the basis of the GPS positions. This to this kind of scene is to be avoided. Fantastic that this kind of techniques, the safety of the highways inspectors and the motorist can improve, right?

After the end of the trial is to determine whether the alarm has contributed to the safety of the inspectors. Also, it will then be decided whether the functionality is to be rolled out.
