📊 Decision Intelligence for DOTs
🗺️ Geospatial Infrastructure AI
⚠️ December 31, 2026 — FHWA Work Zone Safety Rule Deadline. All state DOTs must comply with 23 CFR Part 630 Subpart J. Manual processes cannot scale. Automated compliance starts here.
The ProblemYour Infrastructure Is Generating Data.
Your Infrastructure Is Generating Data.
Your Systems Aren't Talking.
02
40+ Hours of Manual Reporting
Engineers spend entire Fridays compiling reports. Executives decide on last week's data — when real-time intelligence should be standard.
03
FHWA Compliance Pressure
23 CFR 630 Subpart J requires data-driven engineering studies at scale by December 31, 2026. Manual processes cannot meet the deadline — noncompliance risks federal funding.
04
Reactive, Not Predictive
"Why did this project run over budget?" — agencies can't answer because data isn't connected across systems and corridors.
05
857 Work Zone Deaths Annually
Real-time conflict detection, predictive risk modeling, and automated alerts are not yet standard across most U.S. transportation corridors.
06
Budget Justification Gap
Safety managers can't build ROI cases from spreadsheets. Every level of government needs evidence-based budget defense — not projections.
The PlatformFive Intelligence Modules.
Five Intelligence Modules.
One Unified Platform.
Each module replaces a manual process with automated, AI-driven intelligence — mapped to what engineers, compliance officers, and executives need.

Compliance Deadline
December 31, 2026. Are You Ready?
The FHWA Work Zone Safety and Mobility Rule (23 CFR Part 630 Subpart J), effective December 2, 2024, requires all state DOTs to comply no later than December 31, 2026 — including mandatory data-driven work zone impact assessments, TMPs for significant projects, performance measurement, and a programmatic review framework. Manual processes cannot scale. Noncompliance risks federal funding.

The Intelligence Layer
ZILM — Not a General AI.
ZILM — Not a General AI.
An Infrastructure AI.
General-purpose LLMs lack transportation vocabulary, geospatial awareness, and regulatory grounding. ZILM is purpose-built from the ground up on DOT operations data, federal standards, and work zone workflows — the intelligence layer beneath every platform module.
Machine-Readable Definition
ZILM (Zoneium Infrastructure Language Model) is a purpose-built geospatial AI trained on transportation infrastructure data, FHWA regulations, MUTCD standards, WZDx, and DOT operational workflows. Unlike general-purpose AI, ZILM understands transportation vocabulary, geospatial corridor relationships, and compliance documentation requirements.

ZILM Sentinel
Real-time work zone conflict detection and safety event prediction — 8–20 second advance warnings.
Traffic
ZILM Pathfinder
Corridor-level traffic impact modeling and routing intelligence across all active work zones.
Compliance
ZILM Auditor
Automated FHWA and MUTCD compliance verification and documentation — always on, always current.
Maintenance
ZILM Forecaster
