Detection

Detect low bridges before drivers miss them

Bridge strikes are often a combination of errors. Exeros' smart cameras scan for low bridge road signage and bridge structures, warning drivers with up to 90% accuracy.

Vehicle Height Awareness

Remove manual errors from the equation

Remembering the height of your vehicle or load in seconds while also manoeuvring an HGV or bus isn't easy. We've solved that by using RFID and pre-programmed measurements to automatically set vehicle heights.

Recording

Record every incident, near miss, and warning event

Fleets need clear context to understand what happened and why. We capture HD footage, GPS location, journey history, and event data to help operators investigate, report, and improve driver coaching.

Operational Impact

Reduce scrutiny, disruption, and reputational damage

A single bridge strike can cause route closures, damaged infrastructure, and serious reputational consequences. We help fleets reduce operational risk while demonstrating stronger standards for driver safety and compliance.

FAQ

Questions about the platform, privacy, and how it works for your fleet

How much does a bridge strike cost a fleet operator?

Bridge strikes can result in repair costs billed by Network Rail, which can run to six figures for significant structural damage, as well as vehicle damage, route disruption, missed deliveries, Traffic Commissioner reviews, and reputational damage. The total cost of a single strike often far exceeds the cost of a prevention system.

How does an AI bridge strike warning system differ from GPS-only systems?

GPS-only systems alert drivers to bridges within a proximity radius, generating frequent false alarms from bridges on adjacent roads or based on outdated map data. Exeros combines live AI camera detection of bridge signs and structures with GPS and automatic vehicle height detection, issuing warnings only when a genuine risk is present.

Can a bridge strike result in losing an operator licence?

Yes. A bridge strike can trigger a Traffic Commissioner review, particularly where the incident is serious or part of a pattern. The Commissioner has powers to curtail, suspend, or revoke an operator licence, making prevention a significant business priority for fleet operators.

How does automatic vehicle height detection prevent bridge strikes?

Exeros uses RFID sensors to detect and set vehicle height automatically, removing the risk of driver error when recalling height during a busy manoeuvre or after a trailer swap. The system cross-references height against bridge clearance in real time, issuing an alert only when a collision risk exists.

What happens when a bridge strike near-miss is recorded?

The Exeros system automatically captures a short HD clip of the event, along with GPS location, journey data, and timestamps. This footage is uploaded to the VideMatics platform, where managers can use it for driver coaching, incident reporting, and compliance investigations.
