  • Publication number: 20240326834
    Abstract: A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for vehicle height sensing are provided. A 5G NR transceiver of a computer receives a first 5G NR signal indicative of a vehicle approaching the 5G NR transceiver. The computer is fixed to a stationary object. In response to receiving the first 5G NR signal, the computer generates and transmits a second 5G NR signal. The 5G NR transceiver receives a third 5G NR signal in response to the transmitting of the second 5G NR signal. The computer determines a height of the vehicle by performing triangulation using the received third 5G NR signal. In response to the height exceeding a clearance distance of a stationary roadway structure associated with the computer, the computer generates and transmits a first response signal for altering a travel path of the vehicle.
