Abstract:This technical overview provides safety and operational considerations for truck lateral protective devices. Truck lateral protective devices are devices designed to keep vulnerable road users (VRUs)—pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists—from being run over by a large truck’s rear wheels in a side-impact collision. This technology, which can also be designed to protect automobile occupants, works by physically covering the exposed space between the front and rear wheels of a truck.
