A person riding at high speed crashes into a concrete or metal barrier. Regardless of the barrier, this is a catastrophic accident without a crash cushion.
Features of Crash Cushion Systems
Crash cushions are an essential element of road safety due to their variety of features.
Internal Cushions
If we want to know the main reason for the shock absorption in the system, we find that the internal cushions are the main factor in absorbing the collision energy. They are cylindrical cushions with a weak spot in the center that prevents them from breaking when the car collides with the crash cushion, as the cushions compress upon impact without breaking, gradually stopping the car.
Beams with spacers
After mentioning the internal cushions, these cushions are inside the body of the Crash Cushion, which consists of beams on both sides that contain sliding spacers, these sliding spacers help the beams slide under each other while the cushions are compressed, until the car completely stops, in the case of a frontal collision.
If the vehicle collides with the side of the system, the beams redirect the vehicle back onto the road.
Reflective films
The front face of the Crash Cushion is covered with sheets of reflective films, these reflective films enhance the visibility of the system at night to minimize the chances of a collision and ensure better road safety.
How Does a Crash Cushion Protect Individuals When Collision?
In a collision, the internal cushions compress without breaking due to the weak spot in the center of each cushion, while at the same time the beams slide under each other thanks to the sliding spacers, so as each cushion compresses, the beams slide in parallel.
The cushions absorb as much of the impact energy as possible and gradually stop the vehicle. The cushion is suitable for speeds up to 120 km/h.
