OnStation, a mobile app that allows road construction crews to easily locate people, assets and physical conditions, is gaining traction on projects throughout the U.S. The app's maker, PROJiTECH, raised $1.4 million in a seed funding round this summer. Developed in 2014 by a former Ohio Dept. of Transportation engineer, OnStation helps project members visualize key aspects of a roadway site such as rights-of-way, signage, utilities, drainage and pavement markings. It can record and organize project discussions and documents; provide instant access to current contract documents; and let users annotate entries with text, images and mark-ups, along with date, time and location stamps for anything seen on site. The latest version of OnStation will include statewide linear reference systems, mile marker readouts for all primary Interstate and state roads, and latitude and longitude information, says Jake Bailosky, the app's creator and founder and CTO of PROJiTECH. "We're also taking a new approach to managing data. We want to have it organized in the app and the cloud so it can be used, referenced later and exported in the form of reports."
