# What are Digital Alerts from HAAS Alert?

06/04/2026 9:31 am CDT

Digital alerts are real-time, location-based notifications sent to drivers through apps like **Waze**, **Apple Maps**, and compatible in-dash vehicle systems (e.g., Uconnect, Car-Net).

These alerts are triggered when a **HAAS Alert-equipped emergency vehicle or work zone asset** activates its warning system — such as lights, sirens, or digital beacons.

Digital alerts notify drivers in advance of upcoming hazards, such as:

- Emergency response vehicles ahead
- Roadside crews or tow trucks
- Active work zones
- Lane closures or stopped vehicles

By giving drivers more time to react, digital alerts help [**reduce collisions**](https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation?paperid=111727 ""), [**improve move-over compliance**](https://conservancy.umn.edu/items/8a801f80-8ecb-4738-982f-6c3b1c7591b4 ""), and make roads safer for everyone.
