Abstract:

During the construction and repair of bridges, work platforms or construction-related

containment may result in restricted vertical clearances at a work

location. Some tractor-trailer combinations are prone to over-height collisions

at these locations. Collisions are a hazard to all drivers, and repair of the damage

typically causes traffic delays. Appropriate solutions to this problem will focus

on prevention of collisions by detecting over-height vehicles and directing the

drivers to take an alternate safe route.

This project will investigate and pilot detection/alert systems that can be set up

well in advance of a known vertical clearance restriction to detect over-height

vehicles and alert the driver to take appropriate action before reaching locations

with restricted vertical clearance. The goal is to eliminate or at least minimize the

occurrence of accidents and incidents caused by over-height vehicles in the state

of Louisiana.
