Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle restraint system for arrangement next to a roadway according to the features in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a vehicle restraint system counts through the DE 10 2004 039 792 B4 to the state of the art.
  • the vehicle restraint system has posts fixed to the floor and a guardrail line extending along the upper ends of the posts on the road side from guard rails detachably connected to each other in a detachable manner.
  • a guardrail a extending over its length reinforcing profile is arranged, which is connected in the region of its ends to the guard rail via fastening means.
  • the well-known vehicle restraint system aims at securing hauled roads with obstacles, especially trees, and has proven itself very well in practice.
  • the vehicle restraint system In the case of an impact test in accordance with DIN EN 1317-2 to obtain a containment level H2, the vehicle restraint system must pass the tests TB11 and TB51.
  • the vehicle restraint system For the TB11 acceptance test, the vehicle restraint system must withstand a car with a total mass of 900 kg and an impact speed of 100 km / h at an impact angle of 20 °.
  • the acceptance test TB51 requires the stopping of a bus with a total mass of 13 t, which drives against the vehicle restraint system at an impact speed of 70 km / h at a crash angle of 20 °.
  • the effective range W is a characteristic variable for the evaluation of a vehicle restraint system.
  • the effective range W is the distance between the traffic-facing side of the vehicle restraint system on roads and the maximum dynamic lateral position of each essential part of the system.
  • the invention is based on the object of the prior art, the stoppage of a vehicle restraint system generic type to further increase and this particular with regard to the acquisition of the containment level H2 and a range of action W5, i. a deformation of less than or equal to 1.7 m, to be trained.
  • the protective barrier of the vehicle restraint system has a height of at least 780 mm, wherein the height is measured from the upper edge of the road to the upper edge of the barrier rail.
  • each reinforcing profile in the middle length section is connected to at least two, preferably three, connection points with a protective barrier via fastening means. Overall, therefore, the reinforcing profile is connected to a protective barrier both in the central region and in the respective end regions via fastening means with the protective barrier.
  • the vehicle restraint system can be increased in stoppage capacity, so that the stoppage step H2 can be passed during start-up tests, namely at a range of action of W5 in which the lateral deformation of the vehicle restraint system is less than or equal to 1.7 m.
  • the protective barrier can have a height between 780 mm and 850 mm. Although this proposal deviates from the current 750 mm RAL standard, it does contribute to achieving the desired high retention capacity.
  • guard rails and the reinforcing profiles are also connected in their central longitudinal section with a post.

  • the reinforcing profile with its longitudinal web contacts the web of the central region, whereas the side limbs of the reinforcing profile run at a distance from the limbs of the central region.
  • the middle region of the protective barrier as well as its outer longitudinal flanks can be purposefully reinforced.
  • the free ends of the side legs of the reinforcing profile can contact the back of the guardrail, so that a stable support takes place.
  • the upper longitudinal flange and the lower longitudinal flange of a protective barrier extend in an advantageous embodiment in a vertical plane.
  • the guard rail then towards the road towards a wide front surface on which the impact energy is distributed.
