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 FlareAware reduces the likelihood of bridgestrikes and other incidents relating to weight and width hazards.
The bridgestrike app 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. In the event of an incident, a full audit trail is available.
Drivers can enter their vehicle profile (or the system can auto populate this information) to ensure that only relevant hazards are pinpointed.
FlareAware helps you watch out for vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and e-scooters. VRU’s signed up to the FlareAware Network will be visible on your driver’s device, increasing awareness of their vehicle proximity.
The hazard warning app runs in the background, does not affect SatNavs or other apps, and is only activated when the vehicle approaches a relevant height, weight or width hazard.
