An energy absorbing system with one or more energy absorbing assemblies is provided to reduce or eliminate the severity of a collision between a moving motor vehicle and a roadside hazard. The energy absorbing system may be installed adjacent to a gore area and other relatively wide roadside hazards. One end of the system facind outcoming traffic is relatively narrow. The width at an opposite end of the system may be varied to accommodate relatively wide or large roadside hazards. A sled assembly may be provided with a cutter plate such that a collision by the motor vehicle with the sled assembly will result in the cutter plate tearing or ripping the energy absorbing element to dissipate energy from the motor vehicle collision.

L'invention concerne un système d'absorption d'énergie à un ou plusieurs ensembles d'absorption, permettant de réduire ou d'éliminer la gravité des collisions entre un véhicule lancé et un obstacle le long de la route. Le système peut être installé en position adjacente par rapport à une zone de bretelle convergente ou divergente et autres obstacles relativement importants le long de la route. Une extrémité du système face au trafic est relativement étroite. La largeur de l'extrémité opposée du système peut être différente en fonction des obstacles relativement larges situés le long de la route. Un ensemble traîneau peut être doté d'une plaque coupante: en cas de collision, cette plaque déchire ou arrache l'élément d'aborption d'énergie pour dissiper l'énergie de la collision.
