The TMA truck is one of the highly efficient traffic safety systems and has a major role in providing a high degree of dual protection.
protection for both cars coming from behind, whether by directing them as we will know below or by absorbing the collision energy resulting from the collision of those cars with the TMA itself, as for the area in front of the truck, we find that the device stands between the vehicles coming from behind and the area in front, whether there are broken down cars or repair workers.
Following, we will discuss the major features of Tma.
Features of the TMA truck mounted attenuator
Due to the truck-mounted attenuator importance and its significant role in traffic safety to save lives, keep traffic movement smooth, and ensure its easy flow, Shawahid worked on designing the system with high quality and following international specifications. The most important features of the system are:
Suitable for all types of trucks
We made the truck mounted attenuator of high-quality materials. Its different dimensions are ideal for all types of trucks without causing disturbance to the driver while driving, and its suitable weight doesn’t affect the smooth movement of the truck.
Durable and flexible cushion
The cushion of a TMA characterized by its durability, which allows it to withstand impacts from different types of vehicles. Its flexibility, allows it to absorb the maximum amount of collision energy. thus causing the minimum damage to the impacted vehicle from behind.
LEDs and reflective film
At the back of the TMA, we equipped the system with LEDs with warning signs. It illuminates the road for drivers and warns them not to collide.
We equipped TMA also with reflective films to increase and enhance its visibility at night. Significantly reducing collisions and achieving traffic safety.
Compatible with crash test standards
In addition to these previous features, what confirms the efficiency and quality of the truck mounted attenuator is its compliance with the standards of crash tests, after designing the TMA and as we used to do at Shawahid, we tested it in reality to verify its suitability and ability.
How does a TMA truck mounted attenuator work on the road?
In a part of the road where there are repairs or car breakdowns, the TMA stops behind this part as a wall between the road and the part to be protected. When colliding with the cushion of the TMA, it absorbs the greater impact energy, and then the colliding car rebounds and stops, causing minimal damage to it with high protection for the driver and passengers.
The cushion can be easily replaced using the hydraulic lever.
Why TMA TRUCK from Shawahid?
Shawahid Industrial Roads Company worked in the previous years to achieve traffic safety and protect lives in Saudi Arabia and then spread to the Middle East after its success and pioneering in traffic safety in KSA. This made it one of the first companies to provide excellent service with the efficiency of its systems and global accreditation. As we used to designing traffic safety systems of the highest quality and equipping them to perform their role on the roads, we have produced a TMA that can be supplied globally.
