Since human life is precious, low bridge collision accident must be avoided, in this project titled " Wireless Low Bridge Avoidance System" it will be trying to achieve this goal by create a system to prevent the numerous accidents which occur every year when trucks and other high vehicles drive underneath structures such as bridges, buildings and tunnels for which they lack the necessary clearance.
The high of the vehicle is entered by the driver, and by taking the street coordinates from the GPS sensor in the Smartphone and the high of the existing bridge from the stored data, the microcontroller will make a decision if there is an acceptable clearance for the vehicle to safely pass under the bridge. This device will remedy the situation by warning the drivers of these vehicles about a possible collision with a low hanging underpass. This design will be cheap and easy to install, this will ensure the marketability of the device as it will cost less than the potential repair of the truck.
In this report, it intends to discuss the design and each individual component; building and testing the device are done and this report contains the results.
