Crash Performance - NCHRP 350 Test Level 3 - Redirective, Non-Gating

The REACT 350 Wide Systems are redirective, non-gating crash cushion that meets NCHRP 350, Test Level 3. They features "smart plastic" cylinders made of high molecular weight, high-density polyethylene (HMW/HDPE) plastic that are arranged to shield rigid hazards with three system widths of 1.525 m (60"), 2.440 m (96") and 2.050 m (120"). When impacted within the design capacity specified in NCHRP 350, the cylinders typically regain up to 90% of their original shape and capacity without maintenance or repair of major components.

The REACT 350 Wide Systems meet NCHRP 350, Test Level 3 criteria as a redirective, non-gating crash cushion. During a head-on impact, at speeds up to 62 mph, the cylinders compress to absorb the energy of impact and bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. During side angle impacts up to 20 degrees, the REACT 350 Wide Systems redirect the errant vehicle back onto the roadway at a shallow angle. This redirection is the result of internal struts within the cylinders (except the nose).

The REACT 350 Wide System is available with a steel backup or a concrete-mounted backup. The concrete-mounted backup allows the unit to be attached directly to an existing or new concrete backup at the site. The steel backup allows the system to be placed at sites where a stand alone system is required. The REACT 350 Wide System of a width of 1.525/2.440/3.050 m (60/96/120") width consists of 27/29/29 cylinders arranged in 14/15/15 Rows for Test Level 3 conditions.
