Various embodiments of a system and method for a smart work zone are described. In one example, the system includes smart cone devices configured to transmit smart cone device localization data, a wearable device comprising a processor configured to transmit worker localization data of a worker wearing the garment device and to receive an alert, and a base station. The base station includes an internal edge computing system configured to process the smart cone device localization data to define a virtual geofence boundary of a safe area, process the worker localization data, broadcast a location of the worker wearing the wearable device, and in response to a vehicle or the worker approaching the virtual geofence boundary, provide an alert to at least one of: the worker wearing the wearable device, a passing motorist, or a connected and automated vehicle (CAV).
