Ohio DOT Overheight Vehicle Detection System
Status
Planned
Descripton
Represents a system of Overheight Vehicle Detectors and message signs. Overheight Vehicle Detectors detect overheight vehicles moving toward obstacles such as bridges, tunnels and other overhead structures, and triggers roadside message sign equipment to warn drivers. An audible alarm and/or sign is activated when an overheight vehicle is detected by the system. The infra-red based system, coupled with high intensity signing, offers great reliability in detecting and warning drivers of high vehicles to "DIVERT" or "TURN BACK".
