Overview
The Bridgent BDG-IPV129 Heavy-Duty Impact Protection Vehicle provides the highest level of work zone protection available, with a crash cushion system certified to withstand the impact of a 2000kg vehicle traveling at 100 km/h. This performance specification meets the requirements of high-speed highway work zones where vehicles may approach at full highway speed before the driver has time to slow down.
The BDG-IPV129's advanced crash cushion system is designed to absorb the maximum kinetic energy of a high-speed impact while preventing secondary collision — the dangerous rebound of the impacting vehicle back into traffic. The cushion's progressive deceleration profile minimizes injury to the occupants of the impacting vehicle while effectively protecting the work zone and maintenance crew.
The crash cushion automatically rotates between the horizontal working position and the vertical driving position, controlled hydraulically from the cab. In the working position, the cushion extends horizontally behind the vehicle, providing maximum impact protection. In the driving position, the cushion rotates to vertical, reducing the vehicle's overall length for road travel.
The BDG-IPV129 is equipped with a comprehensive warning system including LED arrow boards, flashing beacons, and a traffic control message sign board. The warning system can be programmed to display different traffic management messages depending on the work zone configuration.
For highway maintenance authorities operating on high-speed roads, the BDG-IPV129 provides the level of protection required to meet the most stringent work zone safety standards and protect maintenance crews working in the most hazardous conditions.
