Audible Cone Alert Systems, Inc.
Standards and
Compliance Alignment
AudibleCone™ is designed for use in environments governed by established safety standards and regulatory guidance. By introducing an impact-activated active alert component, the system is intended to supplement existing traffic control and PPE-based safety measures without prescribing compliance or altering regulatory responsibility.
Alignment is based on principles and intent. Compliance responsibility remains with the deploying organization.

Compliance Through Alignment, Not Claims
AudibleCone™ does not replace traffic control devices, PPE, training, or regulatory requirements.
The system does not interpret, certify, or prescribe standards, which vary by jurisdiction and application.
AudibleCone™ is positioned as an augmenting technology within established safety guidance by introducing an active alert layer.
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
The MUTCD establishes standards and guidance for traffic control devices used on public roadways.
AudibleCone™ is designed for use in environments governed by MUTCD guidance and to operate alongside traffic control setups developed in accordance with applicable standards.
The system does not alter, redefine, or prescribe cone placement, spacing, or configuration.
Responsibility for MUTCD compliance remains with the agency or organization implementing traffic control plans.
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safety Principles
FHWA guidance emphasizes reducing worker exposure to traffic and supporting situational awareness in work zones and roadside operations.
AudibleCone™ is developed with awareness of these principles and is positioned as an augmenting technology within established safety frameworks.
- Introducing an active alert layer when a deployed cone-mounted sensor is impacted
- Designed to function alongside visual safety measures
- Designed to integrate within existing safety practices
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
NCHRP research highlights persistent risks associated with vehicle intrusion in work zones and roadside environments.
AudibleCone™ is developed with awareness of this body of research and is positioned as an augmenting technology within environments where intrusion risk is studied.
The system does not claim to replace engineering, administrative, or procedural controls.
