AppyWay: Getting Ahead of the Digital Traffic Order Mandate

The DfT mandate for digital traffic order management is on its way -- but for the authorities already using AppyWay's Traffic Suite, compliance is just one benefit among many.

In this interview filmed at Traffex 2026, Mike Potter, Head of Commercial at AppyWay, talks through the real-world productivity gains highway teams are seeing when they move away from paper records and legacy systems: faster FOI responses, better cross-team collaboration, and up to 50% efficiency improvements.

With the Automated Vehicles Act adding further requirements down the line, Mike makes the case for getting set up properly now rather than scrambling later.

 

"Records don't improve performance, intelligence does": FYLD's Shelley Copsey on bringing AI to highways

---

For most highways teams, the gap between what's planned and what actually happens on site is managed through paperwork, end-of-day reports, and supervisors stretching themselves across multiple crews. FYLD wants to close that gap in real time.

Shelley Copsey, Co-founder and CEO, joined us ahead of FYLD's debut at Traffex 2026 to talk about AI on the roadside, the Amey partnership, a $41 million Series B, and why intelligence - not record-keeping - is what actually changes behaviour in the field.

The Traffic Group: Intelligence-Led Solutions for Fixed and Temporary Signalling

The Traffic Group brings together two complementary businesses - AGD Systems and Traffic Group Signals - under a single roof, combining more than 50 years of above-ground detection expertise with cutting-edge temporary signalling technology. Designed and manufactured in the UK from a carbon-negative facility, their products are built specifically for British roads, resulting in 18 patents, three King's Awards for Innovation and a string of industry firsts.

As platinum sponsors at Traffex 2026, The Traffic Group will be showcasing everything from the AGD650 AI Multimodal Detector and Signal Studio design platform to Active Channel Management technology and fully autonomous signal recovery. We caught up with Group Marketing Manager of The Traffic Group, Will Credicott, ahead of the show to find out how intelligence-led design is making roadworks safer, smarter and more efficient.

From manual processes to real-time digital controls: How Highway Resource Solutions Is Making Worksites Safer and more Cost effective.

Tragically workers continue to be killed or injured on our roads, that knowledge has driven Highway Resource Solutions (HRS) for over a decade into a relentless focus on one outcome: getting people home safe and well every day.

From the IoT-enabled IPAWS perimeter alert system to the MyWorkZones digital site management portal and the Intellitag remote monitoring device, HRS has built a suite of technologies that in 2025 alone were deployed to over 6000 workzones across highways, utilities, rail and local authority worksites throughout the UK — and increasingly, further afield.

Ahead of Traffex 2026, we spoke to the team about the realities of work zone digitalisation, the duty of care gap, and why the question is no longer whether to adopt digital site technology - but how quickly.
