Project Overview
A government authority needed a reliable solution to protect bridge infrastructure from damage caused by overheight vehicles. Frequent bridge collisions resulted in infrastructure damage, traffic disruptions, and increased maintenance costs.
Upturnist designed and implemented an integrated Overheight Vehicle Detection (OHVD) System that combines height detection sensors, ANPR cameras, CCTV surveillance, and a centralized monitoring platform to detect violations and provide immediate evidence to the control room.
The Challenge
Overheight vehicles travelling on restricted routes posed a significant risk to bridges and overhead structures. Manual monitoring could not provide continuous surveillance, and identifying violating vehicles after an incident was both time-consuming and inefficient.
The authority required an automated system capable of detecting overheight vehicles before impact, recording every event, and providing operators with accurate evidence for rapid response and enforcement.
Our Solution
Upturnist implemented an integrated Traffic Management Solution using Overheight Vehicle Detection (OHVD) sensors, ANPR cameras, and CCTV systems.
The OHVD sensors continuously monitor the height of approaching vehicles. When a vehicle exceeds the permitted height, the system automatically triggers an event, captures the vehicle registration through ANPR, records video footage using CCTV cameras, and immediately sends the incident details to the central control room.
A centralized dashboard enables operators to monitor live events, review captured evidence, and maintain a complete history of violations for reporting and analysis.
Key Solution Components
OHVD Sensor Integration
Continuously monitor vehicle height and automatically detect overheight vehicles approaching restricted bridge locations.
ANPR Integration
Capture vehicle registration numbers automatically for every detected violation.
CCTV Event Recording
Record high-definition video evidence for each detected event to support verification and enforcement.
Centralized Monitoring Dashboard
Provide operators with real-time event notifications, live camera feeds, violation history, and operational reports.
Incident Reporting
Maintain a complete digital record of all detected violations, including timestamps, vehicle details, images, and video evidence.
