  • Looks like an effective barrier -- but very, very expensive to build!

  • It is more expensive to build, yes. But, in use it can save a lot of money because costs for repair are much less. It depends on the location of course, but in the Netherlands, overall lifecycle costs are expected to be lower.

    Also this was the first ever version of the design. Last month an optimized version has succesfully been tested! No video's yet. Hope to add them later.

  • but the rail is pretty ok though. have you seen the top view?! (you can look at 'more from inspiredinnovations' to find it)

  • ..which is a good thing if u were in the bus!

  • Guard rails and crumple zones are suppose to be fluid and observe the crash. If they are both tough and none fluid the occupant feel that crash and get hurt.

  • Have you seen the film from top view yet? (search for wooden guardrail)

    It shows how fluid this crash actually is (as far as a crash can be fluid ;)

  • мощный отбойник

  • @chromiumtrioxide mybe is worth to evaluate if it is more expensive to build a good guardrail or to take care of injured people.

  • me gusta este video ya que puede salvar munchas vidas

  • Steveblue

    After a crash we repair asap

  • Question is... How many times can it be crashed into before it becomes weak and dangerous? Not to mention, if it does break, sharp bits of wood arn't exactly a nice thing to have shoot through the air at people.

  • this is why ive stopped using public transport

  • de vangrail van houd heeft de deze stadsbus van koers gewijzigd.

  • Dat doen ze dus met die oude zuid-oosters.

  • @bestamerica Idiot, G Force. There would be no accidents if cars halted instantly...

  • Very very expensive to build of course, And why take risks of building these things when there is a very low chance of it being in use (crash)
