Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for obtaining sensor data captured by one or more sensors that generate data representative of characteristics of a roadway, determining a state of the roadway by processing the sensor data, the state at least partially comprising a first configuration of the roadway, determining, at least partially based on the state, a period of time to deploy a plurality of road barriers on the roadway, and deploying the plurality of road barriers based on the period of time to provide a second configuration comprising at least one dedicated lane.

A barrier system may include an impact receiving post having a sidewall defining an inner cavity. The impact receiving post may be bendable and may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a post length as measured from the proximal end to the distal end. An insert may be positionable within the inner cavity. The insert may have an insert proximal end, an insert distal end, and an insert length as measured from the insert proximal end to the insert distal end, the insert length being less than the post length. A foundation cage may be coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage may include a plurality of members that form a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage may be configured for installation beneath a ground surface.

Disclosed herein is a bollard system including an impact receiving post and a foundation cage. The impact receiving post includes an outer surface, a proximal end, and a distal end. The foundation cage defines a three-dimensional lattice structure. The foundation cage is coupled to the proximal end of the impact receiving post and is configured for installation in concrete beneath a ground surface. The foundation cage defines a recess to receive a proximal portion of the impact receiving post. The foundation cage includes a horizontal stop member at least partially extending across the recess and supporting the impact receiving post and preventing the impact receiving post from extending further into the foundation cage before the concrete sets.

A gate for controlling oncoming traffic on a roadway (e.g. a highway). The gate comprises an arm movable between an extended position in which the arm extends into a given portion of the roadway to inform the oncoming traffic that the given portion of the roadway is closed and a retracted position in which the arm does not extend into the given portion of the roadway and thus leaves open the given portion of the roadway for the oncoming traffic. The gate also comprises a control system comprising an actuator and configured to support the arm and move the arm between the extended position and the retracted position. The arm may be quite long and vertically wide to close more of the roadway and be clearly visible to the oncoming traffic, while the gate may be crash-tested (i.e., compliant with crash-testing criteria), the control system may be compact, and the gate may be reusable and easily repairable if crashed into.

Disclosed is a concrete block, preferably made of fiber-reinforced concrete, including a body and anchor intended for lifting the block. The anchor is secured to the body and arranged in blind cavities without protruding out of these cavities, particularly arranged at the level of one of the faces of the body of the block such as the upper face of the block when the block is in the installed position on the ground. The body includes reservations and/or attachment/association components, the reservations and the attachment/association component being intended for attaching, preferably removably, or associating, technical equipment that is to be associated with the block. The concrete block is intended to constitute an access-denial bollard and, as a secondary function, a block for supporting and to which to fix technical equipment.

A method for controlling access in an access control system for people or vehicles comprising at least one access control device (11, 12), in which verification of an access authorization is carried out by evaluation of an ID, transmitted at regular intervals by a mobile electronic device (4, 4′) by a first standard. A mobile electronic device is identified as the mobile electronic device located closest to an access control device, if a connection is established by a second standard, which has a range, which covers an area around the access control device, in which only one person or one vehicle can be located or if the mobile electronic device receives a short-range signal, which is emitted or caused by the access control device and has a range, which covers an area around the access control device (11, 12), in which only one person or one vehicle can be located.

An end treatment array for crash attenuation includes a transition barrier module formed of side walls, end walls, a top wall, and a bottom wall, wherein the module walls together define an enclosed interior space. The end treatment array further includes a containment impact sled having an axially extending frame. The frame has a width sufficient to contain the transition barrier module within the frame when in an assembled configuration, and has an axial length which is at least one-half the length of the transition barrier module. The frame defines an interior volume, the purpose of which is to contain a substantial portion of the transition barrier module in the assembled configuration, and to contain debris caused by destruction of the plastic barrier modules in a vehicular impact. The containment impact sled is attached to the transition barrier module.

A barrier system constructed of modules which includes a frame, a concrete foundation, a frame attached to the concrete foundation and supporting a non-vertical front side plate and a vertical rear side plate so that the front side plate and rear side plate meet at the top and are spread apart from each other at the bottom, slotted connectors on the front side and connectors on the rear side, the module adapted to be joined to an adjacent module either at the same elevation or a different elevation. The modules are joined together via bolts in the rear side connectors and threaded toggle bolts and drop toggle nuts through the front side slotted connectors. Extenders within the slots of the open ended connectors are used when connecting adjacent modules at different elevations to accommodate for slotted connectors of different sizes which must be connected to each other.
