Improve safety outcomes by reducing the likelihood of bridge strikes and any associated insurance, reputational and liability issues
Bridge strikes and the delays and disruption they cause, are of increasing concern to train and road users and can become a significant issue for fleet operators. In addition, vehicle owners can be held accountable for the associated damage and passenger compensation costs relating to bridge strikes.
Increase safety and operational efficiency and reduce the risk of driver injury, liability claims, increased insurance premiums and long-term reputational damage.
Through vehicle profiling and advance warning, drivers have the opportunity to take preventative action before approaching height, weight or width hazards.
Drivers, other road users and rail passengers are better protected, as DHW reduces the likelihood of bridge strikes and other incidents relating to weight and width hazards.
DHW provides an onscreen visual and audible warning as height, weight or width hazards are approached. The location and nature of the hazard is provided, and the direction of travel is taken into account. Alerts cease when a driver re-routes and is no longer on a direct route to a hazard.
Drivers can enter their vehicle profile (or the system can auto populate this information) to ensure that only relevant hazards are pinpointed.
Historical data can be accessed and analysed for up to five days so that in the event of an incident, a full audit trail is available.
The DHW app runs in the background and does not affect SatNavs or other apps, and is only activated when a vehicle approaches a relevant height, weight or width hazard.
