Snoline TAU Crash Cushion

The TAU® redirective crash cushion system fully complies with road safety requirements: it guarantees excellent protection against direct or angular front impact and pushes the vehicles in the right direction in the event of side impact.

TAU® consists of modules with airbags that dissipate the energy of impact. These modules can be easily adapted to suit the different levels of impact energy and speeds envisaged. They come in models P, L and XL depending on the speed and width of the obstacle to be protected

After an impact, the TAU® crash cushion system deforms, either at the front or the side depending on the path of the vehicle involved.

n the event of front impact, the TAU® telescopes backwards. Since the dissipators are reusable, sometimes the system can be simply restored by repairing the damaged modules.

In the event of side impact, the force is elastically dissipated to the ground by steel frames and cables and the vehicle, running along the side of the 3-wave corrugated panel barrier, is redirected by a slight angle into the correct path to return to the lane. Here too, simple maintenance is often enough by replacing a few parts.

TAU® has been studied with computer models and tested with actual crash-tests and is currently used on many roads and motorways in Italy and abroad.
