GreenRoad prevents bridge strikes with smarter driver alerts

GreenRoad needed

A reliable way to prevent bridge strikes

GreenRoad customers faced a critical safety challenge: preventing bridge and tunnel strikes. These accidents put drivers and passengers at risk, while causing costly vehicle damage, service disruptions, and insurance claims.

To address this, GreenRoad needed precise, always up-to-date map data with attributes such as bridge heights and road restrictions. The solution had to work globally and be available both online and offline.

Real-time, context-aware driver alerts

GreenRoad’s solution is already transforming safety for fleets across the UK and beyond. Customers such as Stagecoach, the UK’s largest bus operator, adopted GreenRoad’s low bridge alert system powered by HERE data. The results were clear: a significant reduction in bridge strikes soon after implementation.

Sharon Vye-Parminter, Health, Safety and Environment Director for Stagecoach, said “To see so many of our drivers receive Fleet Elite and Master Fleet Elite status is a real testament to the quality of our teams across the UK and their commitment to driving safely and efficiently."

"Smoother, fuel-efficient driving is safer and provides more comfortable journeys for our customers, as well as helping to cut our carbon footprint and meet our sustainability targets,” said Vye-Parminter.

Beyond reducing accidents, GreenRoad helps fleets cut operational costs, lower insurance premiums, and improve overall driver behavior. At the same time, GreenRoad has expanded its market reach by offering advanced safety features that open doors to new customer segments.
