EVALUATION OF TWO NEW IMPACT ATTENUATORS. THE ENERGITE AND GREAT IMPACT ATTENUATOR

BEOORDELING VAN TWEE NIEUWE OBSTAKELBEVEILIGERS: DE ENERGITE EN GREAT OBSTAKELBEVEILIGER

Two new impact attenuators have been developed in the USA. The first one is the energite module inertial barrier, which is based on the type of impact attenuator consisting of plastic drums filled with sand. The second one is the guard rail energy absorbing terminal, the great impact attenuator, which is a special guard rail construction with energy-absorbing properties. Both systems are evaluated for their efficiency in the Dutch situation by a literature review. In the construction of the systems some problems have arisen, which would need to be solved, before the systems could be applied in the Netherlands.
