Roebling Labs rates the consequence of a potential ship-bridge collision in real time, using the AASHTO probability of collapse to classify each vessel as low, medium, or high consequence.

Roebling Labs is supporting Johns Hopkins University and UMass on FHWA-funded research into aberrant vessel warning systems, in response to NTSB Safety Recommendation H-25-028 from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse investigation.
27 July 2026
Four days after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, a Virginia Tech professor told Politico that ship-tracking warning systems for bridges were overdue. He was right — Roebling Labs built it, now deployed on four of the 68 bridges NTSB flagged for vessel collision risk.

If your agency is grappling with NTSB Safety Recommendation H-25-30, issued in response to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, Roebling Labs can help you mitigate your risk. Watch our 5-minute summary video — our system is actively deployed on four NTSB-designated vulnerable bridges.

The reference material behind our IBC-26-56 paper: NTSB investigations and safety recommendations, FHWA and AASHTO guidance, and international studies on vessel collision with bridges and motorist warning systems, gathered into a single annotated table.
26 June 2026
Last week Roebling Labs presented our technical paper at the International Bridge Conference titled "Vessel Collision Warning System for Vulnerable Bridges - Case Studies." The paper is available for download.
22 June 2026
Roebling Labs recently deployed our vessel collision warning system at the Newport Pell Bridge in partnership with RITBA. This pilot directly responds to NTSB Safety Recommendation H-25-030 from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse investigation.
16 April 2026
In continued partnership with New York State Bridge Authority (NYSBA), Roebling Labs deployed a vessel collision warning system at the Rip Van Winkle Bridge over the Hudson River, following the successful Newburgh-Beacon deployment two weeks prior.
31 March 2026
In partnership with New York State Bridge Authority (NYSBA), Roebling Labs deployed a vessel collision warning system at the Newburgh-Beacon Bridges over the Hudson River — the first such system in North America.
18 March 2026
The Chesapeake Bay is one of the busiest commercial waterways in the country and home to some of the most consequential bridges in the Mid-Atlantic. Roebling Labs is collecting real-world field data here to validate our vessel collision warning algorithms.

When a ship risks collision with a bridge, every second counts. Grateful to be featured by Matt Crane of MGMT Boston alongside other Engine founders — my segment starts at the 5-minute mark.
25 February 2026
Our vessel collision warning system has been running live at a site adjacent to the Tobin Bridge in Boston through three blizzards — combining real-time AIS vessel tracking, trajectory forecasting, and AASHTO impact analysis.
10 January 2026
Roebling Labs builds vessel collision warning systems for vulnerable bridges. That's it. Our company is 100% devoted to solving this problem.
25 November 2025
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge cost 6 lives and an estimated $5 Billion. NTSB flagged 68 bridges across the U.S. as potentially vulnerable and recommended vessel collision monitoring systems. Roebling Labs has responded.
