This final report describes the development and full-scale crash testing of a reusable truck mounted attenuator that dissipates kinetic energy through the lateral deformation of a nested cluster of high molecular weight/high density polyethylene (HMW/HDPE) cylinders. This 100 km/h impact attenuation device, called the Vanderbilt Truck Mounted Attenuator (VTMA), satisfies the crash testing requirements of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 and has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for use on the National Highway System.
