Infrastructure Damage Prevention

Problem

In many cities, bridges have different heights, and some sections of the road network are not clearly marked with height restrictions for large vehicles.

This leads to numerous accidents each year caused by trucks that fail to identify height limitations, damaging both the infrastructure and the vehicles involved. Public authorities need to identify high-risk infrastructures and gather data on incidents to prevent future collisions and improve road safety.

Solution

The solution involves installing a network of height sensors at key points on bridges and along routes near these critical areas. The sensors will measure the height of vehicles approaching the bridges in real-time. When a vehicle is detected to exceed the allowed height limit, a warning signal will be sent to an LED screen located further ahead, safely alerting the driver about the risk of a collision with the bridge.

Impact

The systematic control of vehicle height crossing bridges will significantly reduce accidents caused by collisions with bridges, thereby decreasing damage to both infrastructure and vehicles, as well as the risk of injuries to drivers.

It is expected that this system will reduce collision incidents by 90% and lower the costs associated with bridge repairs and vehicle damages.
