Vehicle impact barrier system and vehicle impact barrier unit for use therein
Vehicle impact barrier system (300) comprising a series of impact barrier units (310) and at least one linkage means (332). A first impact barrier unit is linked to at least one other impact barrier unit by said at least one linkage means.
Traffic control channelizing system and method of use
A system of retroreflectorized traffic control channelizing devices is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of channelizing devices, each device having a reflective member that is either white, yellow, or red in color. Those having a white reflective member are used to direct traffic from a right side of a traffic lane. Those having a yellow reflective member are used to direct traffic from a left side of a traffic lane. Those having a red reflective member are used to stop traffic for a road closure. A method of use of a system of retroreflectorized traffic control channelizing devices is also disclosed.

Barrier support for a queue management system
A barrier support for a queue management system that includes a post having an upright portion adapted to support at least one barrier device and having at its bottom end a foot and a floor plate. A lower portion of the foot and an upper portion of the floor plate are cooperatively shaped such that the lower portion of the foot can securely fit into and/or over the upper portion of the floor plate and thereby locate the post and one or more magnets are located in the foot and/or the floor plate such that the post can be magnetically secured to the floor plate. The barrier support allows a post to be properly positioned on a floor plate without danger of misalignment and then be held in that position magnetically. The floor plate is circular and has a single centrally located circular aperture faulted therein and the foot is circular and has a single centrally located cylindrical portion that is sized to securely locate in the aperture.
Gate safety barrier assembly
A gate safety barrier system is provided for use at a loading dock to prevent accidental or inadvertent movement of a loading dock vehicle and/or personnel through an access passageway provided on the loading dock. The gate safety barrier includes a pair of bollards positioned on opposite sides of the passageway and a horizontal center member pivotally mounted on pivot bollard. The horizontal center member includes two sections connected together by means of a center hinge. The horizontal center member moves to close and block the passageway. When in the closed position the horizontal center member spans the distance between the bollards. The system provides safety, ease of use, and improved functionality which protect personnel while the assembly is being moved between closed blocked passageway to open unblocked passageway.
System and method for aligning entry snout of a barrier transfer machine with road barriers
A barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, and a control system that aligns the entry snout with road barriers before the road barriers are picked up. The control system includes a barrier position sensor; an entry snout position sensor; and a processing system.

Concrete block, particularly access-denial bollard, with additional functionalities
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.
