Low Bridge Detection System:
Every year large vehicles collide with overhead bridges, research by Network Rail has found that 56% of drivers do not consider low bridges when planning their journey. As a result, these collisions endanger lives, cause disastrous delays on the road and rail networks and cost companies thousands of pounds!
After recognising a gap in the market for this specific type of product, Parksafe Group designed and developed an innovative Low Bridge Detection System (LBDS) – which has already won a number of awards, including the Operator’s Choice Award for routeone‘s 2023 Innovation Challenge.
The Low Bridge Detection System (LBDS) can detect up to 3,750 upcoming low bridges (within the UK and Ireland) by using GPS vehicle location data and geo-fencing. The driver is then alerted via LED-enhanced displays and an audible warning system that automatically activates.
What’s more? The product requires zero driver input. The driver doesn’t need to need to know the height or width of the vehicle as this is all done at the point of installation.
Parksafe Group says that its revolutionary Low Bridge Detection System (LBDS) can be used as a stand-alone product, integrated into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter – meaning costly bridge strikes can be avoided.
