Installing a reliable overheight vehicle detection system prior to a bridge or tunnel can instantly activate downstream warning devices that can alert the operator of the vehicle of the danger ahead and prompt them to take evasive action, preventing high value assets such as bridges and tunnels from being struck.
An overheight detection system monitors a vehicle’s height and gives drivers or Road Management Authorities advanced warning if the vehicle exceeds the maximum height for an approaching overhead structure.
At Aldridge we can design, develop and install off the shelf and bespoke solutions for over-height vehicle detection. The system consists of a laser scanner detector combined with a control unit to trigger an electronic warning sign.
Our solution saves time, money and subsequent effects that may impact business, insurance and the community as a result of an asset being stuck. In most cases, it only takes the prevention of one significant impact to pay for an entire over-height detection system.
