The document explains the types of crash barriers designed to enhance commuter safety during traffic incidents, distinguishing between flexible, semi-rigid, and rigid barriers based on their deflection and impact resistance mechanisms. Flexible barriers deflect upon impact, semi-rigid barriers deflect moderately, and rigid barriers, typically made of reinforced concrete, offer minimal deflection while redirecting vehicles. The text also emphasizes the importance of modifying or removing hazards rather than solely relying on barriers for safety.

2. What are the Crash Barrier types?
With the emerging products to keep the commuters in the safety zone,
crash barrier is one such product that goes a step ahead in providing a
safe and secured transport. While barriers are normally designed to
minimize injury to vehicle occupants, injuries do occur in collisions
with traffic barriers.
They should only be installed where a collision with the barrier is
likely to be less severe than a collision with the hazard behind it.
Wherever possible, it is preferable to remove, relocate or modify a
hazard, rather than shield it with a barrier.

3. Types of Crash Barriers
Barriers are divided into three groups, based on
the amount they deflect when struck by a vehicle
and the mechanism the barrier uses to resist the
impact forces.

4. 1) Flexible Barriers
These include Metal Beam Crash Barrier
Manufacturer and weak post corrugated
guide rail systems. These are called as
flexible barriers because they will deflect
when struck by any vehicle. Impact energy is
dissipated through tension in the rail
elements, deformation of the rail elements,
posts, soil and vehicle bodywork, and friction
between the rail and vehicle.

5. 2) Semi-rigid barriers
These include box beam guide rail,
heavy post blocked out corrugated
guide rail and thrie-beam guide rail
from W Beam Highway Crash
Barrier Suppliers. They deflect
more than rigid barriers, but less
than flexible barriers. Impact
energy is dissipated through
deformation of the rail elements,
posts, soil and vehicle bodywork,
and friction between the rail and
vehicle.

6. 3) Rigid barriers
These are usually constructed of reinforced
concrete. A permanent concrete barrier will
only deflect a negligible amount when struck
by a vehicle and designed in such a way to
redirect a vehicle into a path parallel to the
barrier. This means they can be used to
protect traffic from hazards very close behind
the barrier, and generally require very little
maintenance. Impact energy is dissipated
through redirection and deformation of the
vehicle itself.
