Abstract
When a vehicle hauling an oversized load strikes a bridge, it can cause significant damage and decrease the bridge’s life expectancy. Drivers often don’t stop or report the incident, leaving transportation authorities unaware of the damage and repairs to be paid at taxpayers’ expense. To combat the problem and ensure strikes are paid for by the offender, Iowa DOT is piloting a first-in-the-nation research project to detect bridge strikes in real time and match the data with vehicle records.
