Abstract

A portable energy absorbing system which is attached to the rear of a standard 14000 pound highway service vehicle used in maintenance operations has been designed and fabricated. Four full scale crash tests have been conducted. Results of this testing demonstrate that this energy absorbing system provides protection during a collision for both the errant motorist and the personnel working in the service vehicle.
