A guardrail is primarily designed as a safety barrier to protect a driver who has veered off the road. The ideal outcome would be for a car that is careening off the road to come to a clean stop. But that may not be practicable in some circumstances or locations.
The road may be bordered by steep side slopes or embankments, as well as by utility poles, retaining walls, bridge piers, and trees. Sometimes getting rid of those things is not an option. Guardrails should be built in those circumstances, when hitting one would have less severe repercussions than hitting the other nearby items.
They can minimise the severity of collisions and make roads safer. The guardrail can be used to divert traffic back into the road, bring traffic to a stop, or, in some cases, delay traffic just enough to allow it to pass the guardrail.
The Global highway guardrail market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Metalesa has created a brand-new intelligent road guardrail that can recognise risky conditions and warn users.
Additionally, it can notify local government officials of mishaps and occurrences like a collision with a guardrail or a speeding vehicle coming, or it can track the movement of pedestrians on the aforementioned road as well as the local weather. It is the first authorised guardrail with integrated active safety on the market and is intended for use on urban and interurban roadways, though it may be modified to fit any situation.
The software for communication and control as well as all the electronics put inside the guardrails, which are furnished with numerous sensors, were devised by researchers at the ai2 Institute of the UPV in order to create it.
