A barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, and a tracking system that tracks and records the locations of road barriers as they are placed on a road surface so that the last locations of the barriers can be established for evidentiary purposes and/or for alerting operators or others of mis-positioned 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.

A mobile barrier is shown having first and second platforms, at least one of the first and second platforms engaged with an axle and a set of wheels; a safety wall assembly, having a mechanism for translation of the safety wall from one side of the platforms to another, the safety wall further having telescoping first and second portions allowing the safety wall assembly to expand and retract in length along the longitudinal axis of the mobile barrier; a plurality of variable length braces connected to the platforms and the safety wall, which expand and retract as the safety wall moves from one side of the platforms to the other.

The present invention relates to a roadblock for temporary installation to block traffic and/or as a security precaution, including: an elongated casing with two opposing longitudinal side walls and an, the two side walls joining, upper wall; and at least one casing support structure located in the elongate casing and connecting to both the side walls; supports for resting on the ground/surface connected to the lower side of the elongate casing and/or the lower side of the casing support structure, and plural stabilisation arms protruding from one of the longitudinal side walls.

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.

A system for installing a structure is provided. The system includes a plurality of moveable objects, and a server including a controller including one or more processors, and machine readable instructions stored in one or more memory modules that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the controller to: communicate with the plurality of moveable objects; receive a request for installing the structure at a location; select a group of moveable objects among the plurality of moveable objects based on locations of the plurality of moveable objects; instruct the group of moveable objects to move to the location; and instruct one or more of the group of moveable objects to morph at the location based on information about the structure.

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.

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.

A road barrier transfer machine includes an improved capstan control system that reduces unwanted migration of road barrier spans without requiring inaccurate visual observations and reliance on outdated scripts. The barrier transfer machine includes a moveable chassis, an entry snout, an exit snout, a conveyor system, a capstan system, and the capstan control system. The capstan control system automatically operates the capstan system or provides instructions to an operator of the machine to maintain the tension and compression of a road barrier span within desired ranges to reduce unwanted migration of the span.

A safety trailer is shown including first and second platforms, at least one of said first and second platforms having an axle and wheels attached thereto; a plurality of interconnected wall sections positioned between and connected to the first and second platforms, the plurality of wall sections defining a protected work area on a side of the trailer; and wherein the trailer supports a ballast member, the ballast member being positioned near a first side of the trailer and the wall sections near a second, opposing side of the trailer, the ballast member offsetting, at least partially, a weight of the plurality of wall sections.
