App Profile: Sight Line for Roadworks

The Sight Line app provides an audio and large print text description of any nearby roadworks sites that are using the Sight Line system. The description contains the site configuration and length along with how you should negotiate it and how long it will be in place.

Launch the app when you set off and it will run in the background for an hour scanning for nearby sites. When you come within a few metres of a site that is using the Sight Line system the app will issue a notification of roadworks ahead. Selecting the notification will trigger the full site description.

If the app is not running and you encounter a site and would like to find out about it you and open the app and the the description will play within a few seconds.

The Sight Line system is currently being used in the following areas by the these organisations:

Wolverhampton area, National Grid and Balfour Beatty

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
