The UK averages five railway bridge strikes a day — over 1,666 a year — at a cost of around £23 million to the taxpayer.
43% of HGV drivers admit they do not know their exact vehicle height, and fail to account for low bridges when planning a route.
Drop-and-hook swaps mean a driver's height can change between trailers — paper checks and memory don't keep up.
A single strike can trigger Schedule 8 train-delay charges and licence risk, and Network Rail pursues hauliers for the full cost.
A Triple-Validation Engine fuses three sources to act before impact: a forward-facing AI camera reading bridge arches and gantry signs, 10 Hz GPS geofencing against a database of 2,000+ UK bridges, and RFID dynamic height sensing that tracks the live trailer height. Confirmed together, they fire a staged in-cab intervention with near-zero false positives — 96% detection accuracy.
Forward-facing camera actively reads bridge arches, gantry signs and roadside height indicators in real time.
High-precision positioning cross-references the vehicle's path against known height-restricted structures.
Automatically tracks the live trailer height — solving the drop-and-hook problem without driver input.
Monitoring escalates to amber pre-warning, then a high-decibel alarm when a collision path is confirmed.
Deep integration with a database of 2,000+ UK bridges, validated against GPS for accurate alerts.
Integrates with MDR / DVR multi-camera systems and the platform for event review and reporting.
A forward-facing detection camera, in-cab driver display and height-configuration keypad — deployed together or alongside MDR / DVR for recorded evidence.
