Although Bridgescout® is developed and produced with the utmost care and according to the latest state of technology and informatics, human attention and expertise remain indispensable when passing bridges.
Bridgescout® is a tool and not a guarantee against collisions. Bridgescout® measures the distance to and height of each object included in the database in a forward direction from its own position. Bridgescout® warns if the bridge is lower than the height of the Bridgescout® system. The system does not warn if the vessel is approaching an obstacle while traveling in reverse. The system does not take into account objects on the vessel above the position of Bridgescout® (e.g., mast or antenna), nor the length of the vessel.
The functioning of Bridgescout® can be negatively affected by poor visibility, weather conditions, temperature, obstacles in the measurement line between the Bridgescout® system and a bridge, incorrect installation, inadequate maintenance, damage/defects, or dirt or condensation on the glass.
We strive to keep our object database up-to-date. However, we are also dependent on your information as a waterway user. Please check the system regularly by letting it generate an alarm with extra attention.
