Abstract
Solutions are presented for generating alerts when a truck may collide with a bridge. The solution includes a bridge strike avoidance system that offers real-time alerts to drivers about potential low-bridge collisions. By utilizing real-time map data, vehicle height data, and detailed bridge information, bridge strike chances are reduced. The system includes tools for generating alerts by a monitoring device on the vehicle and for configuring bridge and vehicle heights. Fleet administrators can manage and review alerts, while drivers can verify or input vehicle height, including trailers. Administrators can also validate these height parameters. Map and bridge data are uploaded to the vehicle's device, which checks for low bridges within a specified distance during trips. Visual or auditory alerts notify drivers. The server logs low-bridge events, enabling a behavioral monitoring system to generate alerts and reports for fleet managers.
