Chicago, IL and Detroit, MI — HAAS Alert, the leader in connected vehicle and vehicle- to-everything (V2X) safety technology, and Cavnue, a pioneer in intelligent infrastructure for connected and automated transportation, today announced a groundbreaking collaboration to improve driver awareness, enhance road safety, and showcase the exciting future of smart roads. Building on Michigan’s long-standing leadership in smart mobility innovation, this collaboration further solidifies the state’s role at the forefront of advancing road safety and connected infrastructure. 

“We are thrilled to see two technology entities collaborating in the mission to build a safer and more connected roadway system. Combining HAAS Alert’s real-time safety alerts and Cavnue’s smart road technology will accelerate MDOT’s work to improve safety and lay the foundation for the future of mobility,” said Bradley C. Wieferich,  Director of the Michigan Department of Transportation.

The Cavnue Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Corridor on Michigan’s I-94 is a first-of-its-kind smart road deployment that delivers digital and physical infrastructure improvements to enable the safe, efficient, and automated transportation of goods and people. Cavnue’s dense sensor network reliably and accurately observes the road with lane-level precision and enables teams at the Michigan Department of Transportation to quickly identify crashes, disabled vehicles, debris, and other hazards that might pose a threat to drivers, while generating real-time, lane-level insights for road users to improve situational awareness and help unlock higher levels of vehicle automation.

“This collaboration with HAAS Alert directly aligns with Cavnue’s vision of creating a seamless, integrated transportation network for the future,” said Tyler Duvall, CEO and Co-Founder of Cavnue. “This technology can transform safety on the road, and digital alerts extend the reach of that transformation to as many drivers as possible.”

Through this new collaboration, Cavnue’s advanced digital and physical infrastructure will be connected to HAAS Alert’s Safety Cloud®, the nation’s largest connected vehicle platform. By integrating Cavnue’s infrastructure with Safety Cloud, this collaboration strengthens road safety today while laying the groundwork for the future of smarter, automated, and connected mobility.

When Cavnue detects hazards and incidents on the road, Safety Cloud will deliver notifications to approaching drivers inside their vehicles, giving drivers critical extra seconds to react and reduce crash risks. Safety Cloud alerts are available today in Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Chrysler, and Volkswagen vehicles, as well as through navigation apps like Waze, ensuring broad reach and immediate impact. 

“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Cavnue, a leader and innovator in intelligent infrastructure,” said Cory Hohs, CEO and Co-Founder of HAAS Alert. “We know that digital alerts make roads safer for everyone, and the opportunity to use smart road technology to both identify hazards and alert drivers to them is a real breakthrough that will save lives.”

The companies plan to demonstrate their collaborative integration together this summer, with more information to come.
