Real-Time Safety Intelligence that Connects Vehicles, Workers, and First Responders – in One Smart Network
The H.E.L.P.® Alert Network™ is a revolutionary, fully integrated safety platform that delivers real-time hazard alerts and enhances situational awareness across the entire roadway ecosystem. By seamlessly connecting passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, work zones and emergency responders, this intelligent network helps reduce collisions and coordinate response even when they do occur.
The H.E.L.P. Alert Network collects, algorithmically calculates, and distributes critical hazard data from connected vehicles, roadway work zones, commercial fleets, and emergency systems — then delivers accurate, trusted information to navigation apps, in-cabin displays, traffic management infrastructure, and emergency response platforms with exceptional speed and fidelity.
The result: faster reactions, better decisions, and safer roads.
Notification Partner Network: Vehicles, devices, and platforms that detect and transmit critical hazard data, including H.E.L.P.®-enabled vehicles, work crew vehicles, commercial fleet vehicles, DOT and municipal infrastructure, emergency response vehicles, and wrong way drivers.
Protect Partner Network: Calculates and then distributes accurate, relevant and timely location of roadway hazards to mobile and embedded navigation platforms, in-dash displays, mobile devices, and autonomous vehicle systems as real-time alerts so approaching drivers can safely avoid them.
Response Partner Network: Shares incident and event information with Traffic Management Centers, 9-1-1 providers, public safety networks and incident response platforms to facilitate faster, more informed emergency response in situations where every second matters.
ESS’ globally patented H.E.L.P. Lighting Alerts and H.E.L.P. Digital Alerts are redefining hazard communication for the modern roadway, replacing outdated systems that fail to keep pace with today’s transportation systems.
Together, these innovations change driver behavior and reduce crash risk — especially in dangerous scenarios involving disabled vehicles, work zones, and emergency scenes.

H.E.L.P. places the vehicle in emergency mode through:
Manual Activation by the driver when the vehicle is in park.
Automatic Deployment - Collision - triggered when a vehicle’s airbag or other OEM preferred sensory equipment is activated.
Automatic Deployment - Enhanced Triggers - other safety trigger events such as a tire blowout, driveline failure, automated driving take-over, or other vehicle system failure.
When the H.E.L.P. emergency mode is activated, it communicates in two forms:
1. Visual - 4.5 Hz emergency flash rate through the hazard lamp circuit
2. Digital – Deployment of an emergency warning to traffic data infrastructure. Approaching drivers receive advanced warnings of hazards ahead through audio, visual and other alerts.
