Low Bridge Detection (LBDS)

Every year large vehicles collide with overhead bridges, data published by Network Rail between 1st April 2020 and 31st March 2021 shows that there were 1,624 bridge strikes reported across the network. Most of these incidents involved Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV’s), with between 40 – 50 a year related to buses.

Costly bridge strikes can be avoided by alerting overheight vehicles on their approach, our unique and innovative Parksafe Group Low Bridge Detection System (LBDS) is the ideal solution! Designed and manufactured in the UK, the LBDS can detect up to 3,750 low bridges and requires ZERO driver input; the driver doesn’t need to need to know the height or width of the vehicle, as this is all done at installation!
