Trinity Attenuating Crash Cushion (TRACC)

Purpose: The TRACC is an end treatment for concrete barriers. It is limited to use in construction or other work zones on a temporary basis.

Description: The 21 foot long TRACC includes four major components: a pair of guidance tracks, an impact sled, intermediate steel frames, and 10 gauge W-beam fender panels.

Functionality: The sled (impact face) is positioned over the upstream end of the guidance tracks and contains a hardened steel blade that cuts the metal plates on the sides of the guidance tracks as it is forced backwards when hit head-on.

Foundation: The system requires a concrete foundation.

Slope: 10H:1V or flatter slope between the edge of the traveled way and the near face of the unit.

Manufacturer/Supplier: Trinity Industries, Inc
