ESS was founded with a singular mission: to protect vulnerable people on our roadways. We are committed to delivering industry-leading solutions that make roads safer – for the motorists who travel them and the workers who maintain them.

Our advanced lighting and digital alerting technologies dramatically improve worker and equipment visibility, enhance driver response, and reduce roadside risk. Our solutions help ensure roadway work crews are seen sooner – preventing collisions and saving lives.

ESS technologies provide: 

• Improved workforce protection
• Better awareness of temporary and ongoing work zones
• Reduced asset downtime

H.E.L.P.® Protects People Two Ways:

H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alerts

• Patented, high-visibility emergency flash pattern 
• Proven to change driver behavior (slow down, move over)
• Compliant with U.S. federal and state regulations

H.E.L.P.® Digital Alerts

• Information on relevant hazards sent to oncoming motorists via mobile navigation applications and in-dash displays
• Alerts generated directly from H.E.L.P.-enabled state and municipal DOT fleet vehicles when they activate their lightbars or H.E.L.P. Lighting Alerts

H.E.L.P. Changes Driver Behavior

Our solutions instantly alert oncoming drivers and dramatically enhance road safety by positively influencing their behaviors.

Compared to Standard Hazard Lights, H.E.L.P.® Lighting Alerts Prompt:
‍
1. 7% slower driver speeds (vs. no speed reduction)
2. More lane changes, up to 12 seconds earlier
3. No lane straddling 
‍
H.E.L.P.® Digital Alerts reduce collision risk by 90%
