Tuff kerbing system

Impact Recovery Systems has announced the Tuff Curb XLP, a low-profile high-performance kerbing system designed to withstand damaging high-speed, high-impact applications. Made from solid-coloured, UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene it is designed to withstand 20,000lb of static pressure, double the federal single axle vehicle maximum for a single wheel. In addition, Tuff Curb XLP has been tested by The Texas Transportation Institute to 2009 MASH standards.

543 Impact Recovery Systems has announced the Tuff Curb XLP, a low-profile high-performance kerbing system designed to withstand damaging high-speed, high-impact applications. Made from solid-coloured, UV-resistant, high-density polyethylene it is designed to withstand 20,000lb of static pressure, double the federal single axle vehicle maximum for a single wheel. In addition, Tuff Curb XLP has been tested by The 232 Texas Transportation Institute to 2009 MASH standards.

The combination of Tuff Curb XLP's bright, solid colouring and glass-element technology reflectors supply maximum visibility both day and night. The company claims that, unlike traditional reflectors that only offer reflection from a straight-on light source, XLP's reflectors far surpass the mandated 20° reflectivity required by the ASTM D4280 standard by offering reflection over 45° in each direction.

Impact Recovery Systems designed Tuff Curb to take account of the fact that each installation is unique; therefore, XLP can be used along curved and tangent sections and can be installed via epoxy or anchors, further expanding its application possibilities. The company claims that Tuff Curb XLP's many innovative features and benefits are perfect for applications such as HOV lanes, city streets, turn restrictions, bridges, tunnels and parking structures, as well as many others.

    Pete Goldin reports on a new Egis project in Canada, providing open road tolling operations for the widest bridge in the world. A bridge can present a bottleneck in a system of roads or it can support the smooth and unobstructed flow of traffic. Much depends on the bridge design, surrounding infrastructure and tolling system. By adding lanes and deploying open road tolling (ORT), the new Port Mann Bridge located in the metropolitan Vancouver area in British Columbia, will alleviate congestion at one of the

    High-speed weigh-in-motion is starting to make its mark on both sides of the Atlantic. As a transit country the Czech Republic experiences a large number of overloaded vehicles, which greatly increase highway maintenance costs. This prompted its Transport Ministry to trial an extension of the capabilities of the existing truck tolling system to allow the dynamic high-speed weighing of cargo vehicles. In effect the tolling enforcement gantries become weigh-in-motion (WIM) locations.
