Bridge Protection Systems
Monitor, Advise, Enforce
Bridges across North America are aging and creating a safety concern for many of the departments and agencies responsible for bridges.
Many of today's bridges are structurally deficient or obsolete. At the same time, truck traffic is forecasted to continue to increase substantially over the next decade.
Jurisdictions do not have the resources or funding to replace all of these bridges, therefore, it is imperative that these bridges be preserved and driving made safer.
IRD's WIM (Weigh-In-Motion) technology can play a vital role by monitoring bridge loading, especially for bridges that are under a load restriction due to distress.
