Crash Performance - NCHRP 230 - Redirective, Gating
Combination transition section and end treatment for rigid barrier ends.
This Energy Absorption product does two important jobs: it serves as both a treatment for rigid barriers and as a transition section, protecting motorists from the deadly hard point on barrier ends.
In situations where the standard section of guiderail can be eliminated, the TREND System requires as little as 20 feet to shield such hazards as barrier ends, bridge rails, abutments, and railroad signals, without the risk of vaulting, ramping or spearing.
The TREND System consists of nested fender panels, support posts with slip bases, redirecting cable, a tension strap, and sand-filled boxes for dissipating collision energy. For head-on impacts, the TREND System directs the nose of the vehicle away from the hard point. For angle impacts, the vehicle is redirected back onto the roadway and away from the hazard.
The TREND System has a low initial cost, permits reduction of installation lengths while still protecting motorists and is reuseable.
