01 – The Gap

Agencies and Operators Are Managing Work Zones Without Real-Time Ground Truth.

956 fatalities. In a single year. Every one of them in a work zone.

The federal compliance mandate is real. The fines are real – up to $15,870 per violation. The liability exposure is real.

Permits describe intent. The road reveals reality. A permit says the zone opens Monday. By Wednesday, conditions have changed – additional lanes closed, flagging operation shifted, signage moved. Your compliance team is working from the permit. Your drivers are working from the road.

02 – CityStream™

Every Active Work Zone. Verified. Structured. In Your Workflow.

Nexar CityStream™ Work Zone Compliance detects road construction activity as it happens and automatically flags potential permit compliance issues. Seven classes of work zone elements – barrels, cones, barriers, arrow boards, signs, drums, and flagging operations – detected, geolocated, verified, and delivered in WZDx format with visual evidence.

Live Coverage

350,000+ cameras across the US highway network capture work zone activity in real time. 98% US highway coverage. 100M+ fresh miles per month.

Verified Intelligence

Raw footage becomes structured, WZDx-compatible compliance data. Every record verified. Every alert timestamped. Every output ready for your compliance brief.

Workflow-Ready

Available as an agent capability in the IBM watsonx Orchestrate Agent Catalog. Deploy through the workflows your enterprise already runs. No custom integration required.

03 – The System

From Road to Workflow in Four Steps.

Raw road conditions become verified, WZDx-formatted compliance intelligence – deployed directly through IBM watsonx Orchestrate.

This is not a sample. It is a continuously operating national-scale observation network. Not pulling from periodic surveys or reported incidents. Watching the road.

Capture

Nexar’s 350,000+ cameras detect work zone activity across 98% of US highways – construction, lane closures, flagging operations, temporary traffic control.

Verify

Raw signals are processed through Nexar’s intelligence platform. Each event is classified, timestamped, and scored. Unverified noise is removed. Structured data remains.

Structure

Output formatted to WZDx standard – the federal work zone data exchange format. Compatible with DOT reporting, fleet dispatch, and risk management platforms.

Deploy

Access CityStream™ through IBM watsonx Orchestrate. Your existing IBM workflows can query real-world work zone intelligence directly.

04 – The Numbers

The Data Speaks. Here’s What It Says.

Nexar’s distributed road intelligence network captures 100 million miles of real driving every month – over 10 billion cumulative miles to date. AI models detect infrastructure changes as they occur, not after the fact.

06 – Leadership

What the CEOs Are Saying.

AI agents are transforming how organizations automate complex operational workflows. By integrating Nexar’s road intelligence capabilities into the watsonx Orchestrate Agent Catalog, we can help transportation agencies deploy AI solutions that provide new visibility into roadway infrastructure and construction activity.

– Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM

Cities have never had real-time visibility into what’s actually happening across their road networks. Construction crews move fast, permits are complex, and enforcement is still largely manual. Nexar provides the real-world ground truth that makes AI systems more accurate, more trusted, and harder to replace. By bringing that intelligence into IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate platform, transportation agencies can finally see and act on what’s happening on their roads in real time.

– Zach Greenberger, CEO of Nexar

07 – Built For

Built for the Teams Managing Real-World Roads.

Transportation Agencies / DOT

WZDx-compliant output. Federal reporting requirements met without manual data collection. Your operations dashboard reflects road conditions as they are – not as a permit described them three days ago.

City / Municipal Operations

Active work zones across dozens of corridors simultaneously. Nexar gives you verified status across all of them – feeding the IBM workflow that routes complaints, dispatches inspectors, and generates compliance records.

Fleet & Commercial

Your operations workflow now has visibility into what’s happening on the road before your driver enters the zone. Automated incident logging. Compliance documentation without a manual step.

Insurance & Risk

Pre-loss prevention intelligence. Identify high-risk work zone segments before incidents occur. Every event documented and timestamped – integrated with your underwriting or claims workflow.

Construction & Infrastructure

Verify your own flagging operations are in compliance. Document that they were. Reduce liability exposure on every active site through independently verified records.

08 – FAQ

Common Questions

Is this a real-time feed or a historical dataset?

▼

Both. CityStream™ Work Zone Compliance provides live work zone detection plus a continuously refreshed historical record – updated weekly for 8 out of 10 US highway segments.

Does this require new infrastructure?

▼

No. If you’re running IBM watsonx Orchestrate, Nexar CityStream™ is available as an agent capability in the catalog. For direct API access, our team handles the integration scoping.

What data format does the output use?

▼

WZDx (Work Zone Data Exchange) – the federal standard for work zone data. Compatible with DOT reporting systems, fleet management platforms, and risk management tools.

How is this different from GPS or telematics?

▼

GPS and telematics tell you where your assets are. Nexar tells you what the road conditions are – verified, structured intelligence about the environment your assets are moving through. Different data. Different answer.

Can we run a pilot before committing?

▼

Yes. We offer 30-day proof-of-concept engagements. You define the success criteria. Contact our team using the form below.

Is IBM involved in delivering this solution?

▼

Nexar CityStream™ Work Zone Compliance is developed and maintained by Nexar. It is accessible through IBM watsonx Orchestrate as an agent capability in the Agent Catalog. IBM provides the workflow infrastructure; Nexar provides the road intelligence.
