Collisions of over-height vehicles with low clearance bridges is a worldwide problem. The proposed method can be used to detect big over-height vehicle moving towards bridges, tunnel entrances and overhead structures, and warn the drivers. The vehicle detection system uses an Ultrasonic sensor to monitor the vehicle. An audio-visual alarm is activated when the over-height vehicle is detected by the system. For example, a truck loaded with hazardous gases colliding with an overhead bridge can be dangerous. If a vehicle is too high to safely pass under the bridge, a sensor triggers an alarm placed at the highest point on the vehicle. The alarm warns the driver to alter the course or stop before colliding with the overhead structure. This research will Contributes to reduce the human and material losses.
