Inland River Bridge Collision Warning System: Comprehensive Protection for Waterway and Bridge Safety
System Background
In recent years, with the sustained and rapid development of China’s economy, the inland river shipping industry has experienced significant growth. However, collisions between vessels and bridges have become increasingly frequent. These accidents are often caused by factors such as vessels deviating from the channel, driver fatigue, and potential threats posed by large vessels to bridge structures, severely disrupting normal transportation operations on waterways.
To effectively address this challenge, our company has independently developed a professional bridge collision warning system. Leveraging advanced monitoring and alarm technologies, this system ensures the safe and reliable passage of vessels while safeguarding bridge structural integrity. It establishes electronic surveillance zones in the waters around bridge piers. Once a vessel enters the warning area, the system immediately triggers audio-visual alarms and supports manual activation of emergency mechanisms to guide the vessel back to a safe channel.
System Components and Functions
Real-Time Monitoring and Multi-Layered Warning Mechanism
This system enables operators to comprehensively monitor real-time navigation conditions in bridge areas and efficiently guide vessels through safely. In cases of vessel deviation, the system utilizes AIS positioning, audio-visual alarms, large-screen displays, telephone notifications, and other methods to promptly alert vessels to adjust their course, effectively preventing collision risks.
Additionally, the system integrates historical track playback and video capture functions, facilitating post-event analysis and further enhancing the overall collision prevention capabilities of bridges.
Advanced Radar and Data Analysis Technology
The bridge collision warning platform employs high-precision radar equipment and intelligent data analysis technology, offering wide coverage, large capacity, and rapid response. Unaffected by adverse weather conditions such as day/night cycles, rain, snow, or fog, the system provides 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring. By integrating radar automatic tracking and video linkage functions, it offers robust technical support for bridge navigation safety.
Detailed Core Functions
Moving Target Tracking and Display:
Once a vessel enters the radar coverage area, the system immediately scans and detects its size, position, distance, speed, and threat level, automatically generating and displaying its movement trajectory on a map.Target Information Query:
Supports detailed viewing of each vessel’s movement data, including identification number, bearing, distance, speed, size, and latitude/longitude coordinates.Smart Alert Zone Configuration:
Users can customize alert zone ranges and alarm conditions, supporting dual-mode alerts for entry/exit zones to achieve precise warnings and efficient management.
System Value
This system significantly enhances waterway operational safety through modern detection and information technology. It accurately identifies safe vessel routes, issues timely warnings, and records on-site videos, effectively preventing accidents caused by vessel deviations. Ultimately, it improves navigation efficiency, eliminates potential hazards to bridge structures, and provides comprehensive protection for inland river transportation safety.
