The primary emphasis of this research was the development of a low maintenance end treatment to shield the end of a concrete safety shaped barrier. It consists of a series of energy-absorbing rubber cylinders that are reusable after an impact. The cylinders are supported by steel diaphragms, and the thrie-beam fender panels are used for redirection
