Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) — Approved Product List
RoadDefender is listed on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Approved Product List (APL) as a Work Zone Collision Detection and Avoidance System.
This listing confirms that RoadDefender has undergone FDOT’s formal product evaluation process and is approved for use on FDOT projects under maintenance‑of‑traffic applications.
Inclusion on the FDOT APL enables deployment on Florida roadway projects without project‑specific product approval and demonstrates compliance with state transportation evaluation and procurement requirements.
Where to verify
RoadDefender appears on the FDOT Approved Products List under Work Zone Collision Detection and Avoidance Systems. Verify on FDOT APL (Listing #9951 · Approval ID 9685)
Field Validations
Structured outcomes from real deployments. We share validated observations when available; we do not promise outcomes or make forward-looking claims.

What Our Customers Say
“RoadDefender isn't just technology—it's a lifeline for our roadside crews. The confidence it instills through timely, accurate warnings has made our job sites safer and more efficient than ever before.”
“The three guys had provided positive feedback while wearing the watches. Each of them heard and felt the alerts while working near the equipment and live traffic. The alerts—whether triggered by the traveling public or when a roller was approaching a crew member—were real-time alerts. This made a positive impact and gave the guys confidence that the device was working. They feel this technology could really help them when there's a life-threatening event within their work zone.”
