Abstract

The development of a chain-link-fence vehicle arresting system capable of safely entrapping an errant vehicle entering the medium area between twin bridges, is described. The net system is mounted on steel delineator posts and attached at each end to coils of metal tape designed to absorb energy through bending. Safety aspects of the system are enhanced by using breakaway supporting posts throughout
