| 摘要： | J-Tech has launched LaneBlade, a truck-mounted tool that clears road crash debris quickly and safely with no need for personnel to be on the highway. The issue of crash debris is more serious than most drivers realise. According to AAA -American Automobile Association - between 2011-2014, road debris was a factor in more than 200,000 police-reported crashes in the US, resulting in around 39,000 injuries and 500 deaths. The hydraulically operated LaneBlade is mounted on the front of service vehicles that assist travellers who have broken down on high-speed expressways. Debris removal can now be done by a single operator who can respond and remove debris quickly and safely while on patrol. This helps limit traffic congestion and keeps traffic moving without the need to close down tunnels, roadways or lanes. No more dangerous 'look-and-leap' between gaps in traffic. The LaneBlade makes easy work of debris clearance, especially debris that would be hard to get to on foot without closing lanes. "This will revolutionise the way state transportation departments and tollways address the problem of dangerous debris on the highways," said Fred Bergstresser, J-Tech's new product development manager. |
