Benefits of Crash Cushion System

Crash Cushion is one of the latest traffic safety systems that use a series of cushions to absorb the impact of a car crash and minimize potential damage in the event of an accident. It has proven its effectiveness by passing the MASH-TL3 test, which can withstand collisions at speeds up to 120 km/h – you can learn more about MASH traffic safety tests in the article Learn about MASH systems but first, how do crash cushion systems work?

Mechanism of Crash Cushion

The Crash Cushion System consists of a series of cushions geometrically designed to absorb the energy of the collision, these cushions are placed inside a carefully designed metal body to flex in a regular manner so that the speed of vehicles is regularly slowed down to reduce the severity of the crash, which ensures increased traffic safety

and preserve the lives of drivers and minimize damage to vehicles. The use of cushions is considered one of the best traffic safety system that combine functional and economic efficiency, and the crash absorption system from the industrial road witness group is one of the best types of shock absorption systems in the Middle East and has proven its worth in preventing cars from rolling over.

Where Crash Cushions are used?

Crash Cushion systems are typically used at intersections where they are installed at the front of concrete or metal barriers to minimize damage in both head-on and side-on crashes, which improves traffic safety.

Benefits of Crash Cushion

Crash Cushions offer many benefits to drivers, including:

Reduce the risk of accidents:

Crash Cushion systems can help reduce the risk of accidents by providing a physical barrier that prevents collisions with solid objects.

Reduce injuries:

It can help reduce injuries by absorbing the effect of a crash as the World Health Organization’s report for traffic safety indicates that a staggering number of people die every year from the impact of traffic accidents.

Safety Factors in Crash Cushion Systems

–Interior Cushions Ergonomically designed to absorb as much impact energy as possible by compressing in the middle and not breaking.

– Reflective Sheets that improve the visibility of the system, especially at night, as they reflect the headlights of cars falling on them.

– Monorail that helps facilitate the cushion compression process without any obstructions that prevent the system from doing its job

– END CAP Installed in front of the monorail and used to protect the impact of the tire with the system directly to prevent the tire from shifting direction abruptly, ensuring a smooth impact with the shock absorber system and supporting traffic safety.
