Over-Height Vehicle Detection


A. Operating Criteria

The OVHD alerts drivers if their vehicles are over-height for an upcoming bridge, overpass, overhead walkway, etc. The OVHD is an optical instrument that uses infared light which is non-invasive, completely safe, and invisible to the naked eye. It can operate day and night in virtually all weather conditions to detect vehicles that are over-height, giving drivers time to turn back or take alternate exits or turns.


B. Features

  • Infrared sensors protect an overpass, low bridge, tunnels and other height restricted structures
  • Prevents vehicle damage and/or expensive overpass repairs
  • Allows drivers to re-route as needed to avoid height restrictions
  • Can be combined with message boards, strobe lights and audio alarms
  • Conforms to undulation of the roadway with L.E.D. alignment sensors
