Claim 0:
1. A method of managing a cable barrier system, said method comprising:
providing in the cable barrier system a turnbuckle subsystem comprising a turnbuckle body assembly having a strain gauge mounting zone to support a strain gauge circuit, the strain gauge circuit receiving strain from the turnbuckle body assembly at the strain gauge mounting zone; and
configuring a management system controller comprising a management processor to output strain data communications via a wireless data communications interface to a remote recipient computing device, the strain data communications in relation to strain received by the strain gauge circuit from the turnbuckle body assembly in relation to strain in a longitudinal direction exerted by a respective cable of the cable barrier system;
configuring the management system controller, by a sensing circuit, to monitor strain received by the strain gauge circuit;
analyzing, by the management processor, strain received by the strain gauge circuit to identify excess strain deviations exceeding a normal strain maximum threshold;
identifying vehicle to barrier impact collisions by association with an excess strain deviation;
analyzing, by the management processor, strain received by the strain gauge circuit to identify insufficient strain deviations below a normal strain minimum threshold.
