Bypass merge lanes
A system to improve the management of through traffic and vehicles entering and exiting a multilane roadway. The lanes are separated by at least one lane separator which should not be crossed by traffic along a designated portion of the roadway, such as within a predetermined distance from a roadway entrance or exit. The at least one lane separator may be any lane marking, barrier, or the like. The at least one lane separator can be any length and located anywhere with respect to the lanes.
BOLLARD SYSTEM
A bollard system having a bollard, a carrier device, a lock plate, and a cover plate is provided. The bollard may be rotatable between a deployed configuration and a stowed configuration. The carrier device may have a recess adapted to carry the bollard in the stowed configuration, and may be adapted to be recessed within the ground. The lock plate may be adapted to maintain the bollard in the deployed configuration. The cover plate may be carried by the carrier device and adapted to cover a portion of the recess. The cover plate may be moveable between an opened position and a closed position. When the cover plate is in the opened position, the bollard may be rotatable between the deployed configuration and the stowed configuration. When the cover plate is in the closed position, the cover plate may be configured to be flush with the ground.
Portable street planter
A portable street planter that is positionable in a street to divert or divide traffic. The portable street planter provides an aesthetic traffic divider that also serves as a planter basin for plants and trees. The traffic divider may also provide foot and arm support for a bicyclist at rest.
ELECTRICALLY-OPERATED BARRIER TRANSFER MACHINE
A barrier transfer machine includes an electrically powered capstan system with regenerative braking/tensioning. The regenerative braking/tensioning recaptures energy when electric motors are forced to turn by passing barriers while no power, or reduced power, is applied to the electric motors.
VEHICLE SECURITY BARRIER AND SYSTEM FOR HOSTILE VEHICLE MITIGATION
According to various aspects, the invention provides a vehicle security barrier apparatus (100; 200; 300; 400) comprising: (i) a support structure (50; 150; 250; 350) for being disposed at least partially below ground, the support structure having a below ground aspect (70; 170; 270; 370) and an above-ground aspect (60; 160; 260; 360); (ii) a track (55; 155; 255; 355) provided at least in part within the support structure; (iii) at least three upright bollards (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d; 120a, 120b, 120c, 120d; 220a, 220b, 220c, 220d; and 320a, 320b, 320c, 320d) mounted to or partially within the support structure, wherein two bollards (20a, 20d; 120a, 120d; 220a, 220d; 320a, 320d) of the at least three bollards are rigidly fixed to the support structure and at least one of said bollards (20b, 20c; 120b, 120c; 220b, 220c; 320b, 320c) is movably coupled to the support structure; and (iv) a mounting structure (80; 180; 280; 380) anchored to the below-ground aspect of the support structure and comprising a series of coupling members extending outward of the below-ground aspect of the support structure. The at least one moveable bollard being movably coupled to the track such that the at least one movable bollard is moveable relative to the two fixed bollards between a closed position, wherein the movable bollard is disposed between said two fixed bollards for inhibiting the passage of a vehicle therebetween; and an open position.
Bollard system
A bollard system including a bollard, a carrier device having a recess adapted to carry the bollard in a stowed configuration, a pivot rod fixedly secured to the bollard and received by a pivot carrier of the carrier device, wherein the bollard is adapted to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the pivot rod between a deployed configuration and the stowed configuration, a lock plate adapted to be received by the carrier device to maintain the bollard in the deployed configuration, and a cover plate carried by the carrier device and adapted to cover at least a portion of the recess of the carrier device in both the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration.
Anti-Breach Bollard
An anti-breach bollard includes a steel hollow structural section (HSS) member having an interior and a longitudinal axis, and an elongated tubular-shaped structure disposed in the interior and extending generally parallel with the longitudinal axis, the elongated tubular-shaped structure having axially spaced openings.
FACADE PANEL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ERECTING A MULTI-STOREY STRUCTURE AND FACADE
A facade assembly for a vehicle parking structure comprising a facade panel arranged to form part of an exterior of the structure. The facade assembly includes at least one support member extending inwardly of the panel and into the structure in use for connection with a floor of the structure. The support member is arranged to include one or more attachments.
Anchorless crash cushion apparatus with metal nose cap
An anchorless crash cushion apparatus having a plurality of interconnected water-filled crash cushion elements and a non-water filled forward-most cushion element includes vehicle capture structure resisting upward tilting of an impacting vehicle and ramping of the impacting vehicle and stabilizing structure resisting relative rotation between the crash cushion elements in both vertical and lateral planes during vehicle impact. The forward-most cushion element defines a notch and a metal nose cap having a weakened midsection is located in front of the notch.
Barrier System and Barrier System Installation Method
A barrier system may include an impact receiving post having a solid cross section. The impact receiving post may be bendable and may have a proximal end and a distal end. A foundation cage may be coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage may be configured for installation beneath a ground surface.
