Improved Energy Absorbing Guardrail System |
摘要 |
A highway crash attenuation system having W-beam rail elements attached to a plurality of vertical posts. An impact terminal with a feeder chute guides one or more of the W-beam rail elements through the impact terminal. The feeder chute has an impact shield extending along a traffic-facing side of the chute from an upstream-most end to a downstream-most end of the chute closing the traffic-facing side of the chute. The system also has an anchor cable release mechanism for releasing the cable downstream of the first vertical post and an improved first breakaway post. |

1. A highway crash attenuation system comprising:
W-beam rail elements attached to a plurality of vertical posts; an impact terminal having a feeder chute for guiding one or more of said W-beam rail elements through said impact terminal; a first anchor cable extending from a first breakaway post anchor to an anchor cable release mechanism releasably attached to at least one of said W-beam rail elements downstream of said first breakaway post anchor wherein said feeder chute has an impact shield extending along a traffic-facing side of said chute from an upstream-most end of said chute to a downstream-most end of said chute, said impact shield closing said traffic-facing side of said chute to prevent an impacting vehicle from wedging into said chute or said one or more W-beam rail elements from buckling out said traffic-forcing side of said chute. |
