SAFER ENVIRONMENTS
When a trailer stops on the shoulder, visibility is everything. Phillips Connect Roadside Safety Intelligence features a high-frequency lighting pattern, making stopped trailers nearly impossible to miss.
SMART PROTECTION
Phillips Connect Roadside Intelligence includes digital hazard alerting so stopped trailers are visible and surrounding drivers are warned in real time through its partnership with Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS).
Navigation apps display alerts to warn approaching motorists about stopped trailers before they approach the hazard.
When the trailer is pulled over or stopped, and the driver engages the hazard lights, ESS’s patented H.E.L.P. Lighting Alerts flash the trailer’s lights in a distinctive high-visibility pattern.
Documented hazard alerts support DOT compliance and provide a record of active safety measures that reduce fleet liability.

ROADSIDE SAFETY QUESTIONS
Through a partnership with Emergency Safety Solutions (ESS), the Phillips Connect platform can trigger ESS’s H.E.L.P.

Lighting Alerts, flashing the trailer’s lights in a distinctive high-visibility pattern designed to attract more attention than standard hazard lights. The system also sends real-time shoulder vehicle alerts to approaching motorists through navigation apps and in-dash systems, helping drivers identify roadside hazards earlier and move over more safely.

The system documents hazard alerts automatically, providing a record of active safety measures during roadside events that supports compliance reporting and helps mitigate liability.
