Roebling Labs supporting FHWA-funded research on ship-bridge collision warning systems

Johns Hopkins University announcement: Civil and systems experts to evaluate warning systems for ship-bridge collisions

Roebling Labs is supporting Johns Hopkins University and UMass on FHWA-funded research in response to NTSB Safety Recommendation H-25-028 from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse investigation.

The project title is: “Surveying aberrant vessel warning systems and their application to inform bridge closure policies and practices”

Dr. Shields, the Principal Investigator, says:

“the project builds on work already underway at Roebling Labs, a company with early-warning systems in use on five bridges in the U.S. As a collaborator working with [us], Roebling Labs’ experience gives the team a firsthand view of how these technologies function in the real world.”
