Abstract
An intelligent vehicle capturing apparatus for a high-pier bridge includes: a double-layer metal protective net; and a support unit and an actuation unit connected to the double-layer metal protective net. The double-layer metal protective net is mounted to a backside of the high-pier bridge through the support unit. The actuation unit includes a hydraulic link mechanism. The hydraulic link mechanism is connected to one end of the double-layer metal protective net. The hydraulic link mechanism is moved to unwind the double-layer metal protective net on the backside of the high-pier bridge to capture a vehicle. In this way, the apparatus stops and buffers a vehicle that is about to rush out of a high-pier bridge.
