A new generation high crash energy absorbing barrier for improved road safety

该项目开发的新型高能量吸收道路安全屏障将通过降低车祸的严重程度，为所有道路使用者提供比现有屏障更好的保护。目前的道路障碍导致澳大利亚每年平均有1600人丧生，其中包括不成比例的年轻人。这种新屏障将能高效地吸收车速在每小时60公里至100公里以上的车辆所产生的碰撞。在事故多发地区安装新的道路安全屏障系统，可减少涉及道路屏障的事故严重程度，从而挽救生命。这将大大有利于社区，减少受伤、医疗、康复和财产损失费用，并改善所有道路使用者的生活质量。

The new, high energy absorbing road safety barrier developed in this project will provide better protection for all road users than current barriers by reducing the severity of car crashes. Current road barriers result in an average loss of 1600 lives in Australia annually, including a disproportionate number of young lives. The new barrier will be highly efficient in absorbing collisions from vehicles travelling at speeds between 60 to over a 100 kilometres per hour. Installation of the new road safety barrier systems in high accident zones will save lives by reducing the severity of accidents involving road barriers. This will significantly benefit the community by reducing injury, medical, rehabilitation and property damage costs, and improve quality of life for all road users.
