FTE Overheight Detection

Project Description: This project uses sensors to detect overheight conditions for vehicles approaching overpasses. Upon detection of a possible overheight condition, driver feedback is provided to warn the driver to exit.

Project Status: Planned

Project Stakeholders:

• FTE
• Private Commercial Vehicle and Fleet Operators

Project Service Packages:

• VS11: Oversize Vehicle Warning (FTE Overheight Project)

Project Functional Requirements (Element - Functional Object):

• Commercial Vehicle - CV On-Board Trip Monitoring
• 8: The commercial vehicle shall receive customized traveler information from traveler information centers to include truck routes, permit information, truck stops, inspection stations, steep grades, high-profile vehicle advisories, etc. Information provided includes freight-related road and weather conditions, parking information, and route plans.


• FTE CAV Field Equipment - Roadway Restriction Monitoring and Warning
• 1: The field element shall measure the weight, height and width of passing vehicles.
• 2: The field element shall display warnings to vehicles if the size exceeds the current infrastructure restrictions.
• 4: The field element shall send weight and size measurements as well as vehicle warning to the roadside equipment for transmission to connected vehicles.


• FTE CAV Field Equipment - RSE Infrastructure Restriction Warning
• 1: The roadside equipment shall provide infrastructure restriction warnings to connected vehicles.


• FTE Data Dissemination Field Equipment - Roadway Restriction Monitoring and Warning
• 1: The field element shall measure the weight, height and width of passing vehicles.
• 2: The field element shall display warnings to vehicles if the size exceeds the current infrastructure restrictions.
• 3: The field element shall send weight and size measurements to the controlling center.
• 4: The field element shall send weight and size measurements as well as vehicle warning to the roadside equipment for transmission to connected vehicles.


• FTE Data Dissemination Field Equipment - RSE Infrastructure Restriction Warning
• 1: The roadside equipment shall provide infrastructure restriction warnings to connected vehicles.


• FTE Operations Center (Pompano) - TMC Infrastructure Restriction Warning
• 1: The center shall provide infrastructure restriction information, including temporary size and weight restrictions, to connected vehicles.
• 2: The center shall provide infrastructure restriction information, including temporary size and weight restrictions, to drivers.
• 3: The center shall use infrastructure measurements of vehicle characteristics to determine if a vehicle exceeds the roadway or tunnel dimensions.
• 5: The center shall provide warnings to connected vehicles if the measured height or width exceeds the dimensions for safe passage through the roadway or tunnel.


• FTE Operations Center (Turkey Lake) - TMC Infrastructure Restriction Warning
• 1: The center shall provide infrastructure restriction information, including temporary size and weight restrictions, to connected vehicles.
• 2: The center shall provide infrastructure restriction information, including temporary size and weight restrictions, to drivers.
• 3: The center shall use infrastructure measurements of vehicle characteristics to determine if a vehicle exceeds the roadway or tunnel dimensions.
• 5: The center shall provide warnings to connected vehicles if the measured height or width exceeds the dimensions for safe passage through the roadway or tunnel.
