Abstract: Described herein is an impact device that may be slidably coupled to a wire rope barrier terminal end and, in the event of an impact on or about the terminal end by a vehicle, the impact device is configured to slide or advance along the terminal end wire rope(s) towards a wire rope barrier end and away from a terminal end anchor position. In a further embodiment, a method is described of retrofitting existing wire-rope barrier terminal ends with the device. The impact device may simultaneously (at least to some extent) absorb kinetic energy from the impact as well as redirect the direction of impact along the terminal end wire rope(s) towards, and optionally along, the wire rope barrier itself depending on the extent of impact. The sliding action also knocks over any posts in the direction of errant vehicle travel in an impact.

Abstract: Described herein is a transport system and method of transporting objects including people between locations. The description also relates to urban and public transport systems for moving large numbers of people and freight or objects between locations. The description also relates to transport systems based on cable and rail elements and moving therebetween. Also described are junction mechanisms, switching and control systems.
