Economic Impact Analysis

What Is Bad Infrastructure Actually Costing You?

Road conditions, freight delays, and work zone inefficiencies drain billions from state economies every year. ZILM quantifies the true cost — and what fixing it is worth.

Based on documented 15–35% work zone efficiency gains and 65% incident reduction from ZILM deployment.
$1.4T
Infrastructure gap through 2039
ASCE estimates the US faces a $1.4 trillion infrastructure investment shortfall over the next 15 years — making efficiency gains from AI critical.
23min
Avg. work zone delay per incident
BTS data shows a single work zone incident causes an average 23-minute delay cascade affecting thousands of vehicles downstream.

ROI on infrastructure AI investment
Zoneium's ZILM platform delivers $8–$15 in measurable economic value for every $1 invested, through incident reduction and freight flow optimization.

Your Corridor Is Bleeding Money.
ZILM Shows You Where.

Zoneium Foundation maps economic drag to specific corridors, maintenance decisions, and work zone schedules — giving DOT Directors and logistics operators a dollar figure for every day of inaction.
