OmniTrust TrafficAuth and pi-lit deliver trusted, real-time lane closure data directly from the roadway. By connecting pi-lit Smarter Cones and Sequential Flares with TrafficAuth, agencies and transportation systems gain reliable ground truth about active closures to help improve roadway awareness and safety across connected transportation.
Solution Focus
Real-Time Lane Closure Data
Planned & Unplanned Events
Trusted Connected Mobility
Higher Field Compliance
pi-lit connected traffic-control devices provide OmniTrust TrafficAuth with real-time roadway ground truth. Through the pi-lit Cloud API, TrafficAuth receives activation, location, duration, and status data from pi-lit Smarter Cones and Sequential Flares deployed in the field, providing a trusted signal that an active lane closure exists at a specific location and time. This supports both planned traffic control and unplanned events where traditional reporting may be delayed or incomplete.
The integration fits naturally into existing field operations. pi-lit Smarter Cones and Sequential Flares use the same familiar form factors crews already deploy, requiring little additional training or workflow change. That helps drive greater field adoption and higher reporting compliance, creating more real-world ground truth without relying on crews to take separate steps to log each closure.
TrafficAuth authenticates and delivers that roadway information so agencies, connected vehicles, automakers, navigation providers, roadside infrastructure, and other transportation systems can rely on it. Together, pi-lit and OmniTrust connect what is physically happening on the roadway with trusted digital lane-closure data—helping improve roadway awareness and safety across the connected transportation ecosystem.
| pi-lit | OmniTrust TrafficAuth | Joint Customer Value |
|---|---|---|
| pi-lit Smarter Cone |
|
Provides real-time roadway ground truth when cones are deployed, giving TrafficAuth a trusted signal that an active lane closure exists at a specific location and time. |
| pi-lit Sequential Flare |
|
Provides the same real-time connection through the pi-lit Cloud API when Sequential Flares are deployed, extending trusted lane closure and traffic-control data to both planned and unplanned events. |
| piLINK / pi-lit Cloud API |
|
Connects pi-lit devices in the field with TrafficAuth, providing activation, GPS location, duration, and status data that TrafficAuth can authenticate and make available as trusted roadway information for connected transportation systems. |
Planned lane closures are not always reported or updated in real time because crews may need to take separate steps to log when traffic control is actually deployed.
When pi-lit Smarter Cones or Sequential Flares are deployed, the pi-lit Cloud API provides real-time activation and location data to TrafficAuth, creating a trusted digital signal that the closure is active at a specific location and time.
Agencies, vehicles, and other mobile users gain more timely, reliable ground truth about active lane closures while reducing dependence on separate manual reporting processes.
Crashes, emergency response, utility work, and other unplanned events can create lane closures with little or no advance notice, making it difficult to quickly communicate accurate roadway conditions.
pi-lit connected traffic-control devices generate real-time roadway data as crews establish traffic control in the field. Through the pi-lit Cloud API and TrafficAuth, that physical deployment becomes trusted digital lane-closure information for connected transportation systems.
Agencies and mobility systems can gain faster awareness of unplanned closures and changing roadway conditions, helping improve response and roadway safety.
Connected vehicles, automakers, navigation providers, and transportation systems need timely lane-closure information they can trust before using it to inform drivers or mobility operations.
pi-lit provides real-world roadway ground truth from connected traffic-control devices, while TrafficAuth authenticates and delivers that information for trusted use across the connected transportation ecosystem.
Trusted, real-time lane-closure data can be shared more confidently across connected vehicles, navigation and mobility providers, roadside infrastructure, and agency systems—helping create a more accurate and responsive picture of roadway conditions.
pi-lit develops radio-connected IoT devices that bring roadway safety infrastructure into the digital world. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Tustin, California, pi-lit is best known for its Sequential Flares and Smarter Cones: rugged sequential warning devices that guide drivers safely around any lane closure or traffic control. Because the products look and deploy exactly like the flares and cones crews already use, they are adopted with little additional training, which drives high compliance in the field.
Every device carries a decentralized mesh radio and, through piLINK and pi-lit Cloud, reports activation, GPS position, duration and battery status. A single modem can bring an entire deployment online, so the moment a crew sets out cones or flares, a digital signal confirms that an active lane closure or traffic-control event is in progress. pi-lit Cloud turns that signal into digital driver alerts, measured traffic response and reporting that safety teams can act on.
With more than 200,000 units sold across four continents and 66 issued patents, pi-lit serves DOTs, utilities, public works, traffic control, law enforcement, fire and rescue, trucking and military customers. Tagline: Safer driving through smarter roads.
