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

Every alert, message, GPS position, and crew action is automatically recorded in the blackbox event log. Export a complete CSV or PDF report for your client, insurer, or permit authority.

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. Sub-second alerts delivered to every device simultaneously. Color-coded risk levels with audible alarm.

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

Instant text messages delivered to all devices. Persistent convoy chat that keeps the whole crew on the same page — not just the two people on a radio channel.

Digital Crew Roster

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

Blackbox 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 an immediate fleet-wide alert. All devices light up, buzz, and display the originating unit.

QR Code Session Join

Share your convoy session via QR code. Crew members scan and join in seconds — no accounts, no passwords, no manual ID entry.

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 that launches instantly with no internet connection after first visit.

Local Data Storage

Session data and blackbox events stored on-device and synced locally 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

Better Together with MeasurePRO

MeasurePRO is our companion LiDAR route survey application. Before your convoy moves, MeasurePRO maps every bridge, wire, and overhead obstacle along your planned route — at highway speed, without shutting down traffic.

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.

MeasurePRO Add-On Module: $650/month

Requires active MeasurePRO subscription. Unlocks Convoy Guardian as a module within MeasurePRO.
