In recent years, with the continuous development of economy, highway has gradually become an important means of transportation for people to travel. However, the speed of the highway is relatively high, taking into account the safety issue, W beam guardrail came into being. This semi-rigid material guardrail not only has strong impact resistance, but also can better absorb the energy generated after the collision to ensure the safety of driving and passengers. Therefore, this kind of highway guardrail can be said to be a modern “life safety protection project”, and it is also the life protection line on the highway.
As a kind of road traffic safety facilities, waveform guardrail has played an important role in ensuring traffic safety and improving road traffic capacity, and has now become one of the standard fittings of modern highways.
In the following aspects, this highway guardrail provides security for people:
Cushioning impact
The structural characteristics of the corrugated guardrail make it have strong impact resistance. Some sections may have a lot of hills or sharp turns, and these are the places where the vehicle is most likely to hit things. When the vehicle crashes, this highway guardrail can be deformed, absorb the energy generated by the vehicle impact, and transfer the energy to the ground, so as to effectively reduce the damage to the occupants of the vehicle. In the study, comparative experiments showed that vehicles using highway guardrails had much less injury to their occupants than vehicles without highway guardrails.
Change collision direction
The corrugated guardrail can also help drivers stay alert, guide the direction of the vehicle, avoid wandering into other lanes, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. When the vehicle deviates from the lane, this highway guardrail enables the vehicle to glide along the direction of the guardrail, thereby avoiding the collision of the vehicle over the center divider and the opposite vehicle, and reducing the risk of the vehicle running out of the roadside steep slope or other dangerous areas.
Improve visibility
The highway guardrail is usually painted in a clearly visible color and is easy to be noticed by the driver in bad weather, dark night or other conditions with poor vision. This helps drivers stay safe in adverse conditions and avoid traffic accidents. On the highway, especially when the weather is bad at night or in rain and snow, drivers need to rely on guardrail to ensure safe driving.
