An innovative bridge strike solution that prevents bridge strikes, and collisions with other road height restrictions.
Around 2000 bridge strikes occur in the UK every year, that's an average of 5 a day. This results in not only huge cost implications, but also significant loss of reputation and even in some cases the loss of a fleet's operating license.
They take place due to poor route planning, distracted drivers, and unknown vehicle heights - all of which are related to human error.
With the Low Bridge Alerting System, no driver input is needed; the driver doesn’t need to know the height of the trailer their tractor is attached to, as it has already been inputted into the alerting system, helping to stop bridge strikes from occurring.
