The Hidden Problem: Over-Height Vehicles in Low-Clearance Car Parks

Low-clearance parking structures are vulnerable to over-height vehicle incidents—a single mistake can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs, downtime, and safety hazards.

Common Problems:

  • Driver Misjudgment: Many drivers misread or ignore static height clearance signs.

  • Costly Damage: Over-height vehicles can destroy sprinklers, doors, signage, and lighting systems.

  • Safety Risks: Collisions endanger drivers, pedestrians, and staff.

  • Operational Disruption: Repair work often forces temporary closure of car park access.

Traditional height bars or static warning signs simply don’t grab enough attention—especially in busy, low-light, or high-traffic conditions.

The Smart Traffic Systems Solution

Smart Traffic Systems offers an advanced Over-Height Vehicle Detection System for Car Parks that tackles these risks head-on.

How It Works:

  • Precision Sensor Detection:
    Photo-electric (PE) sensors instantly detect vehicles exceeding clearance limits—even by a few centimetres.

  • Immediate Alerts:
    Flashing lights, audible alarms, and high-visibility LED signage warn drivers before entry, stopping potential collisions.

  • Optional Remote Alerts:
    With a 4G GSM module, facility managers can receive SMS or call notifications when an over-height vehicle is detected.

  • Customisable for Any Site:
    Tailored for car parks, tunnels, loading docks, and low-clearance areas—built to operate reliably in all weather conditions.
