Rigid barrier systems come in various forms, typically made of steel, concrete, or a combination. While these systems can result in a harsher impact for vehicle occupants compared to more flexible barriers, there are specific applications where their advantages outweigh this drawback.
Rigid barriers are ideal in locations:
- With high impact frequency: Their durability makes them suitable for areas prone to repeated strikes.
- With limited deflection space: In tight spaces where barrier deflection isn’t an option, rigid systems are the best fit.
- Requiring high containment levels: They can be high containment and thus effective in mitigating risks on overpasses or other locations where preventing larger vehicles from breaching the barrier is critical.
