Over Height Vehicle Detection Application
Prevent bridge strikes with laser-based vehicle detection
How does over height detection work?
- Laser sensors continuously measure vehicle height with high precision as vehicles approach a restricted structure.
- When a vehicle exceeds the configured height threshold, the system triggers immediate alerts and activates warning mechanisms in real time.
- The application can be integrated with variable message signs (VMS), traffic lights, barriers, or control centers to ensure timely driver notification and effective incident prevention.
Designed for critical infrastructure protection
Over-height detection systems are designed to prevent collisions between
tall vehicles, such as trucks, buses, or oversized loads, and infrastructure
elements like bridges, tunnels, or underpasses. By measuring a vehicle’s
height, the system provides early warnings to drivers whenever it detects
an obstacle that could obstruct safe passage.
Tattile, with Comark RAM111 solution, provides Over height Vehicle
Detection (OHVD) systems designed to alert drivers about maximum
height limits to prevent collisions with infrastructure. Using precise laser
technology, the system can accurately detect overheight vehicles and
communicate with external devices to warn drivers of potential hazards.
Advantages of Tattile in Over Height vehicle detection
- Easy installation: mounted on the roadside without the need to align the transmitter and receiver
- Precise detection: high detection frequency (up to 1 KHz) and a narrow angle for small objects
- Day & night operation thanks to laser technology
- Multi-lane detection with dual laser beams across up to 3 lanes
- Communication with external devices to alert drivers of potential hazards
