You might be faced with a road accident, whether at an intersection or on the side of the road; either way, you might collide with the barriers in these places, resulting in serious injuries or death.
That’s why we designed a crash cushion system
What materials are used in the crash cushion of barriers to face road accident?
It is not easy to design a device to protect people and maintain traffic safety unless the materials used in the manufacture of this device are of high quality and excellent efficiency when used on the road, which is what we succeeded in doing to design the Crash Cushion, as the system consists of several parts that we will mention and the last part is the most important:
Front Face
This system consists of a front face with blunt edges to enhance protection for the driver and passengers in a collision. When the car hits the front face, it moves back until it completely stops with the help of the internal cushions, whose role will be mentioned below.
The front face is also covered with reflective films.
Reflective Films in Crash Cushion
Reflective films enhance visibility at night or in poor weather conditions. When a car light falls on the chevron containing the reflective films, the light is reflected to clarify the presence of the Crash Cushion and minimize the chances of a collision.
Sliding spacers
Initially, the strut spacers are a barrier between the cushion rows and each other, and the sliding spacers are located inside the strut spacers. When the vehicle hits the device, these barriers, with the help of the sliding spacers, slide down each other until the vehicle stops.
Internal Cushions
The interior cushions are the most essential part of the device. The internal cushions play the biggest role in protecting lives and achieving traffic safety, as the cushions absorb the energy of the collision as much as possible, and the cushions shrink and compress without breaking because there is a weak point in the center.

How do crash cushions work in road accident?
When the car hits the Crash Cushion, its speed gradually decreases as the front end moves back and the cushions compress to absorb the maximum amount of energy, then the vehicle completely stops. When the collision is from the side, the side beams redirect the vehicle towards the road again while reducing its speed.
What makes crash cushions successful to prevent road accident?
Conforming to international specifications and testing traffic safety systems to ensure their efficiency when used is what confirms the success of the system in performing its role in traffic safety. This is what Shawaid Industrial Roads Co. applied during and after the design of the Crash Cushion system, we considered the high quality of the parts used to manufacture the device, and then tested the system in international crash labs, which made us sure of its efficiency and ability to protect individuals and achieve traffic safety as much as possible.
