AWP Safety’s automated flagger assistance devices, also known as AFADs, are smart, safe and efficient. Our automated flagger assistance devices improve work zone safety and help you complete projects on schedule.
AFADs are automated machines with a gate arm and stop and caution lights to support work zone traffic control. They are controlled by our certified and trained flaggers from a safe, roadside location.
Missouri DOT data found that Automated Flagging Assistance Devices (AFADs) significantly reduced average approach speeds, increased full stop distance and increased the first brake location where drivers reacted to stop controls. The study also found that 80% of drivers prefer AFADs over human flaggers.*
Additionally, in Quebec, there have been no reported injuries or fatalities in work zones where AFADs have been deployed since a mandate was implemented in October 2020.**

Benefits of Automated Flagger Assistance Devices
- Promote Safety – Studies show that AFADs significantly reduced average approach speeds, increased full stop distance and increased the first brake location where drivers reacted to stop controls. Plus, smart, wireless technology allows our AFAD-Certified Protectors to control traffic from a safe roadside location.
- Improve Traffic Flow –Onboard Google/WAZE technology diverts some traffic around
your work site entirely, further reducing the odds of an accident. And a fail-safe helps
prevent head-on collisions.
- Stay on Schedule – Fewer AWP Safety Protectors are needed to cover each worksite, translating to greater service availability for your additional work zones.
- Cost Effective – Over the long term, AFADs reduce project costs by keeping you on or ahead of schedule and by lowering the chance of costly accidents.
