Bridge-Strike Prevention & Convoy Safety

ConvoyGuardian

Bridge-strike prevention and real-time convoy coordination for oversize and overweight transport operations.

Works without internet. Works without cell service. LiDAR sensor hardware creates its own mesh network — giving every crew member full situational awareness from front pilot to rear escort.

Why Oversize Convoys Need a Smarter System

Moving oversize and overweight loads is one of the most complex, highest-risk operations in modern logistics.

Bridge Strikes Kill and Cost Millions

A single bridge strike can destroy a load, close a highway for days, result in fatalities, and expose your company to multi-million dollar liability.

Radio Has Its Limits

CB and VHF radios are one-to-one, prone to interference, and rely on driver discipline. A missed transmission at the wrong moment can be catastrophic.

No Shared Situational Awareness

On a long convoy, the rear escort has no idea what the front pilot is seeing. Everyone is operating with incomplete information.

Dead Zones Are a Reality

Mountain passes, industrial corridors, rural routes — cell service disappears exactly where you need it most. Any cellular-dependent system is not a real solution.

From Pre-Trip to Final Delivery

How Convoy Guardian works in four simple steps

01

Set Up Your Convoy Session

The convoy master creates a digital session in seconds. Each crew member scans a QR code to join instantly. Assign roles (Front Pilot, Rear Escort, Load Driver, High Pole Operator), enter load dimensions, and confirm the route.

Roles: Master, Front Pilot, Rear Escort, Arrow Board, High Pole Operator, Bucket Truck, Police Escort, Load Driver, Coordinator, and more

02

Connect Your Sensor Hardware

Mount the compact sensor bridge on your pilot vehicle. It powers on and creates its own local wireless network — no cell service, no internet. All devices in range connect automatically.

Includes LiDAR measurement unit, physical emergency button, audible alarm, and strobe light output

03

Real-Time Protection on Every Mile

As you approach every bridge, wire, or overhead obstacle, the LiDAR sensor measures clearance against your load height in real time. If there’s a conflict, every device receives a simultaneous alert.

Clearance margin display with color-coded risk levels (CLEAR / CAUTION / DANGER)

04

Review, Export, and Comply

Alerts, messages, GPS positions, and crew actions can be recorded in an event log for later review. Recording scope is confirmed per deployment.

Stores: clearance alerts, crew messages, GPS positions, emergency activations, session metadata

Everything Your Convoy Needs

Built from the ground up for the realities of OS/OW operations

LiDAR Bridge-Strike Prevention

Real-time clearance measurement against your specific load height. Fast alerts delivered to every device on the mesh.

Live Convoy Map

See every crew member's GPS position on a live map. Know exactly where your front pilot car, load vehicle, and rear escort are at all times.

Crew Messaging

Text messages delivered to all devices. Persistent convoy chat that keeps the whole crew on the same page.

Digital Crew Roster

Assign roles, track contact info, log load dimensions per vehicle. Maintain a complete, searchable crew manifest for every move.

Event Log

Automatic recording of every clearance alert, GPS position, crew message, and emergency activation. Export as CSV or PDF for compliance, insurance, and post-incident review.

Offline-First Architecture

The app loads and runs without any internet connection. The sensor hardware creates its own private local network. Works in the most remote locations on earth.

Emergency Alert System

Physical emergency button on the sensor hardware triggers a fleet-wide alert. All devices light up, strobe and buzzer activate.

QR Code Session Join

Share your convoy session via QR code. Crew members scan and join quickly — no accounts, no passwords, no manual setup.

Clearance Dashboard

Live height reading with real-time clearance margin display and sensor status. Color-coded background (green/yellow/red) provides instant visual assessment of overhead clearance safety for every crew member.

No Internet. No Cell Service. No Problem.

Convoy Guardian is engineered for the real world. Your safety system cannot depend on infrastructure that disappears exactly when you need it most.

Hardware-Created Network

The sensor bridge creates its own private wireless network. No router, no ISP, no cell tower required.

Fully Cached Web App

Progressive Web App designed to launch without an internet connection after first visit.

Local Data Storage

Session data and event records are designed to be stored on-device and synced within the convoy network.

Works everywhere your convoy goes:

Mountain passes with zero cell signal
Rural highways far from any tower
Private industrial sites and port facilities
Underground tunnels and mine access roads
No monthly data plan required for core ops
App loads fully from device cache

Sister Application

Better Together with MeasurePRO

MeasurePRO is our companion LiDAR route survey application. Before your convoy moves, MeasurePRO can map bridges and obstacles along your route. Current capabilities are published at measure-pro.app.

1

Pre-Survey with MeasurePRO

Drive your route with the MeasurePRO sensor. Every overhead clearance is recorded and GPS-tagged.

2

Import into Convoy Guardian

Load the pre-surveyed route data. Every crew member sees the same annotated route data.

3

Live Cross-Reference

Live LiDAR readings compared against pre-surveyed values. Discrepancies trigger automatic alerts.
