The energy generated when a car crashes into a barrier is great and can result in serious injuries that can kill passengers and drivers. The risk of swerving off the road can also result in severe catastrophes.
Rolling barriers, an evolutionary improvement over traditional barriers, are an ideal solution to avoid all these risks.
Shortly, how Rolling Barriers preserve traffic safety
Rolling Barriers reduce the impact of road accidents by absorbing and dispersing the force of a collision, thereby mitigating damage to the vehicle and injuries to occupants. They achieve this by converting impact energy into rotational energy, redirecting the vehicle back onto the road, and minimizing the severity of the crash.
In this article, we will explain in detail how to achieve this.
4 Key Factors in Protecting Passengers with Rolling Barriers
Through four phases, rolling barriers achieve optimal traffic safety and minimize human and economic losses.
Absorbing Energy
Our Rolling barriers are designed to absorb the energy of a collision so that the vehicle’s ride is not affected. When the vehicle collides with the rollers of the safety roller barrier, the rollers are made of elastic material, absorbing as much of the impact energy as possible.
Converting Energy
After absorbing the impact energy, the rollers convert that energy into rotational energy, and thus the rollers rotate around their axis at a speed that corresponds to the speed at which the vehicle collided to return the vehicle to the correct path, as we will explain in the following.
Redirecting
When the rollers rotate, as explained above, they rotate around their axis against the direction of the car so that they gradually return the car to the path of the road. So the car doesn’t hit fixed bodies or cross over to the other side of the road.
Minimizing Damage
By absorbing collision energy, converting it into rotational energy, and then redirecting the vehicle back onto the road, rolling barriers significantly enhance traffic safety by protecting passengers and drivers as well as minimizing damage to infrastructure and property.
What are the advantages of Rolling Barriers
Versatility
There are many places where safety roller barriers can be installed. They can be installed on straight roads, curved sections, ramps, medians, tunnel entrances and exits, around poles, and even on road turns.
Visibility
Many roller barriers are designed with reflective films to guide lights to increase their visibility, especially at night.
Demonstration video on the role of Rolling Barriers
We at Shawahid Industrial Roads Co. have created a video explaining how rolling barriers absorb shocks, with an explanation of the parts of the barrier and some of our projects.
Safety Roller Barrier Development of Metal Barriers
All countries around the world are currently seeking to shift their cities into smart cities as part of Vision 2030, and road traffic safety is one of the important aspects of achieving this vision. How can smart cities have many accidents and serious injuries? As a result, Shawahid Industrial Roads Co. was focused on developing metal barriers to enhance traffic safety and created the best version of a safety roller barrier that can absorb the shocks of different vehicles at high speeds as well as comply with the standards that ensure safety and security for lives and the road.
