Background:
In a groundbreaking move for road safety and asset management in New Zealand, RTL has proudly collaborated with Fulton Hogan’s Northland Network Outcomes Contract (NOC) team to trial the innovative Sentinel Impact Tracker. This cutting-edge technology promises to revolutionise how we monitor and maintain our road safety infrastructure.

The Northland NOC, under the leadership of Business Manager Ulrike, has become the first in New Zealand to test this new technology. The trial, conducted in partnership with RTL, marks a significant step forward in road safety management for the country.

The Sentinel Impact Tracker is a state-of-the-art system designed to provide immediate notification when road safety devices are impacted. These devices include Crash cushions, Barriers, Guardrails and other critical road safety infrastructure.

2. Instant Alerts: Upon impact, the Sentinel immediately transmits a signal, alerting work crews and ensuring rapid response times.
3. Cost-Effective: RTL is committed to introducing this technology to New Zealand to reduce monitoring costs significantly.
4. Enhanced Safety: By enabling quicker responses to damaged infrastructure, the system helps maintain safer road conditions for all users.
5. Prompt Repairs: The technology ensures that barriers and other safety devices are repaired in a timely manner, minimizing risk to road users.
6. Remote Asset Management: Asset managers can now monitor infrastructure remotely, eliminating the need for frequent physical inspections.
7. Improved Reporting: The system generates quick and easy-to-understand reports, facilitating better decision-making and resource allocation.
8. Stakeholder Management: With improved response times, the community will see tangible benefits, enhancing public trust and satisfaction.
9. Collaborative Approach: The Sentinel Impact Tracker allows for better collaboration between NOC/IDM teams within organizations, providing a holistic view of asset performance.
10. Data-Driven Decisions: By gathering accurate impact data, the system enables more informed decision-making for future road safety improvements.
