• Abstract:
  Determine the effectiveness of the SCI100GM in a mainline application. The SCI100GM is a fully redirective, speed-dependent, non-gating, bi-directional crash attenuator with a reverse-tapered design to eliminate side panel stress during a collapse. In addition it has a low angle of exit on side impacts (<1°) to keep vehicles from rebounding back into traffic.
  
  The hydraulic porting of the attenuator is designed that the proper resistance is applied to stop the vehicle before it reaches the end of the cushion’s usable length. Per the manufactures information, this device, based on a frontal impact, may be reset and back in service under an hour with minimum cost.
  
  Record contains 2015 and 2018 reports.
