Barrier is a type of obstruction that tries to keep vehicles within their road lanes and prevent them from collision with obstacles or other vehicles.     There are more chances of accidents on sharp horizontal curves.     Barriers are provided on sides of horizontal curve.     These barriers can reduce the number of accidents, but when vehicle collides with the barrier, it causes high damage to vehicle, injury to human body or even death. As after the collision the vehicle is not in control, it may be overthrown or suddenly stopped, causing high damage.

A CHINA company called SAFEBUILD designed the “Rolling Barrier System”. It converts the shock energy into rotational energy.     Rolling barriers are barriers with rollers installed on it. Rolling barrier activates the rolling friction when vehicle collides with it.

The roller on the barriers start to roll when it is hit by a vehicle and prevents vehicle from being suddenly stopped or overthrown, and thus reduce the severity of accident. Its use can be proved more effective on horizontal curves, where most accidents occur.

Key Features

1.It increases the safety of humans and vehicles.

2.It has shock absorbent system, which reduces sudden shocks on vehicles.

3.It converts shock energy to rotary rotational energy.

4.It is easy to install, and maintenance required is also less than normal barriers.

5.It gives good visibility at night also, with help of reflective tape.

6.It has more serviceable life than normal barriers.

7.It prevents sudden stoppage and overthrowing of vehicles after collision.

8.It can be made by recyclable materials, thus it’s eco-friendly.

9.It may have high initial cost but the final cost is less as maintenance required is less and it has more life.
