Exactly what I thought when I read the article

Still I think its a good idea if it helps minimize the risk to highway workers.

Isn't that what NJDOT workers do now?

Some encryption key (something like SecureID) will probably be built in to minimize the threat of hacking I'm betting.  This is probably a proof-of-concept and will not probably see it for at least five years.

Road workers are actually part of a secret cult that worships shovels.  Haven't you ever noticed that anytime you go by, one of them is reverently holding a shovel, while the others form a circle around him and kneel or sit  in its presence.
