'Smart cone' device inspired by road worker deathpublished at 13:02 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2018

BBC Radio Leicester Reporter
A company based near Bottesford has created a device aimed at reducing the number of road worker deaths on our motorways and A roads.
Highway Resource Solutions spent 11 years developing "smart cones" after hearing about the death of a worker on the A1 near Grantham.
The cones contain a computer, and when hit by a vehicle they emit a piercing noise which warns workers to get out of the way.
There’s also a button, which a foreman can press if he notices a vehicle heading towards the coned-off area.
In addition, it's hoped the cones can be used to send information about roadworks to drivers' sat navs or Google Maps - and help people understand why repairs are being carried it.
It's thought this could help reduce driver frustration.
