| 摘要： | The structure-mounted noise barrier was first designed by the roadside safety experts at Safe Roads Engineering, a safety engineering consultancy based near Toronto, Canada. A mock wall was then erected at the test site, and the crash test was completed in early December, conducted by third-party provider Texas A&M Transportation Institute at their proving ground in College Station in the US state of Texas. The MASH TL-4 testing criteria is dictated by AASHTO - the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. To replicate worst practical conditions, the crash test is conducted with a 10,206kg (22,5001b) box truck at speeds of 93km/h (58.5mph) and at a 15° impact angle. (See web details for a link to view the crash-test video). "Durisol's aluminum noise barrier system provided excellent vehicle stability," said Dean Alberson, senior research engineer at Safe Roads Engineering. "Despite the severity of the impact of the crash, the wall panels remained in place and intact, without flying debris and minimal damage." "By completing these tests, we can pass that peace-of-mind onto our customers," said Mark Van Bakel, president of Durisol. |
