• Fully re-directive, non-gating, bidirectional, impact attenuator
• Designed to be reset after an impact in under 30 minutes
• Low angle exit on side impacts keep vehicles from rebounding back into traffic.
• Life cycle cost savings with minimum replacement parts needed
• MASH eligible

MASH Test Results:

• All MASH tests were performed including the optional midsize car test using an independent accredited testing facility. Once again, the Smart Cushion established records for ridedown g-forces for small vehicles just like it did with NCHRP350.
• The SCI100GM is a MASH and NCHRP350 Test Level 3 attenuator.

Safety Benefits:

• Variable resistance (speed-dependent), not fixed resistance, provides consistent deceleration during ridedown.
• Longer ridedown distances and lower sustained g-forces for lighter or slower-moving vehicles.
• Quick and easy resets for reduced worker exposure to traffic.
• Low angle of exit on side impacts to keep vehicle from rebounding back into traffic.
• No mobilization required after side impacts reduces public and worker exposure.

Cost Benefits:

• Few replacement parts requirements virtually eliminate spare parts inventory and parts costs.
• Thirty minute resets reduces labor and traffic control costs.
• The reverse-tapered design eliminates side panel stress on frontal impacts to reduce damage and system fatigue from multiple impacts.
• Life cycle cost savings increase dramatically as additional impacts occur.
• No damage on side impact combined with low cost on frontal impacts can save you 75% or more on costs including labor, mobilization and parts
• Systems shipped from factory fully assembled reduce on-site labor.
