Dear Mr. Ramirez: 

This letter is in response to your November 26, 2019 request for the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHW A) to review a roadside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility 

for reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHWA letter of eligibility is 

assigned FHW A control number CC-158 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by 

FHWA that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following device is eligible, with details provided in the form which is attached as an 

integral part of this letter: 

• Scorpion II Metro 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash 

test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and 

Transportation Officials'(AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). 

However, the FHWA, the Department ofTransportation, and the United States Government do 

not regulate the manufacture ofroadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the 

Federal-aid highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the 

device for any particular purpose or use. 

This letter is not a determination by the FHWA, the Department of Transportation, or the United 

States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any particular 

outcome, nor is it a guarantee of the in-service performance of this device. Proper 

manufacturing, installation, and maintenance are required in order for this device to function as 

tested. 

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crashworthiness of the system and does not cover other 

structural features, nor conformity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 
2 

Eligibility for Reimbursement 

Based solely on a review of crash test results and certifications submitted by the manufacturer, 

and the crash test laboratory, FHWA agrees that the device described herein meets the crash test 

and evaluation criteria of the AASHTO's MASH. Therefore, the device is eligible for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program if installed under the range of tested 

conditions. 

Name of system: Scorpion II Metro 

Type of system: Truck-Trailer Mounted Attenuator (TTMA) 

Test Level: MASH Test Level 2 (TL2) 

Testing conducted by: KARCO 

Date of request: November 26, 2019

Issuance of this letter does not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege. This 

letter is based on the premise that information and reports submitted by you are accurate and 

correct. We reserve the right to modify or revoke this letter if: (1) there are any inaccuracies in 

the information submitted in support of your request for this letter, (2) the qualification testing 

was flawed, (3) in-service performance or other information reveals safety problems, (4) the 

system is significantly different from the version that was crash tested, or (5) any other 

information indicates that the letter was issued in error or otherwise does not reflect full and 

complete information about the crash worthiness of the system. 

Standard Provisions 
3 

• To prevent misunderstanding by others, this letter of eligibility designated as FHWA 

control number CC-15 8 shall not be reproduced except in full. This letter and the test 

documentation upon which it is based are public information. All such letters and 

documentation may be reviewed upon request. 

• This letter shall not be construed as authorization or consent by the FHW A to use,

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

(e New Hardware or 

Significant Modification 

(' Modification to 

Existing Hardware 

The Scorpion II Metro Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) is a mobile crash cushion attached to the rear of a 

support vehicle's frame. The TMA may be used on shadow, stationary block vehicle, or on advanced warning 

vehicles upstream of a moving or stationary operation. The Scorpion II Metro TMA can be used on support 

vehicles with a minimum actual/curb weight of approximately 7,300 lbs. (3,300 kg) with no upper weight limit 

(infinite weight). The Scorpion II Metro was tested at a nominal speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and can be used in 

lower speed applications. 

The Scorpion II Metro TMA has overall dimensions of 7.7 ft. (2.3 m) long X 8.0 ft. (2.4 m) wide X 2.0 ft. (0.6 m) tall 

and has a ground clearance of 12 in ± 1 in (305 mm ± 25.4 mm) when deployed in the horizontal operating 

position. The Scorpion II Metro TMA consists of two main components: Cartridge and backup/diaphragm 

frames. The Cartridge is the energy attenuation component. 

The Cartridge consists of four outboard convex aluminum tubes (two on each side) forming an aluminum 

structural weldment. The aluminum structural weldments bolt to a set of steel structural diaphragm frames. 

The structural assembly encompasses aluminum crush Module C and Module E. Attached to the rear most end 

of the Cartridge, is the single crush Module A. Crush Modules A, C, and E are made from an aluminum outer 

skin that contains expanded aluminum honeycomb. The energy absorbing modules A, C, and E are all 

approximately 2 ft. (0.6 m) tall and 5 ft. (1.5 m) wide and vary in depth. The approximate depth of Module A, C, 

and E are 1.0 ft. (0.3 m), 2.0 ft. (0.6 m), and 3.5 ft. (1 .1 m), respectively. Module A, C, and E are designed to 

accommodate an assortment of rearward facing reflective sheeting and patterns that are visible in either the 

deployed or travel positions. 

The steel diaphragm and backup support the aluminum tubes and the crush modules. The framework 

structure also connects the TMA to the support vehicle. The structural mounting system incorporates extender 

frames to provide clearance for support vehicles with excess bed overhang when the TMA is in the stored 

position. The TMA can use either a low pivot mounting system to increase overhead clearance or the standard 

mounting system. Both high and low mounting systems were used in the course of the crash testing. The 

Scorpion II Metro TMA is rotated into the stored and deployed positions by an on board hydraulic system. An 

optional hydraulic powered vertical lift can be utilized to display an arrow board or variable message board 

when the TMA is in the deployed position. The vertical lift is powered by the same on board hydraulic system 

that rotates the TMA into the stored and deployed position. The vertical lift is sequenced to raise and lower a 

panel for displaying advanced messages, directional indicators, or other notifications. Lighting consists of LED, 

directional, and running lights meeting FMVSS requirements and optional strobe/flashing lights can be 

accommodated for enhancement of advanced warning to drivers. 

CRASH TESTING 

By signature below, the Engineer affiliated with the testing laboratory, agrees in support of this submission that 

all of the critical and relevant crash tests for this device listed above were conducted to meet the MASH test 

criteria. The Engineer has determined that no other crash tests are necessary to determine the device meets 

the MASH criteria.

Test report number P39237-01, conducted 

on 08/01 / 19. The target test speed for this 

test was 50 mph (80 km/ h). Test 2-50 

involves an 1100( test vehicle impacting 

the system at an angle of 0° with centerline 

of the vehicle aligned with the centerline of 

the TMA. The test evaluates the impact 

performance of the TMA during small car 

impacts. The support vehicle was blocked 

against forward and lateral movement with 

no steering angle, parking brake set, and 

transmission placed in second gear. The test 

vehicle was a commercially available 2009 

Kia Rio with a test inertial mass of 2,435.0 lbs 

(1104.5 kg). 

The test vehicle impacted the TMA at a 

speed and angle of 51 .26 mph (82.49 km/ h) 

and 0.4°, respectively. The TMA brought the 

test vehicle to a controlled stop and did not 

exceed Occupant Impact Velocity (OIV) or 

Occupant Ridedown Acceleration (ORA) 

limits in MASH. There were no detached 

fragment or debris that showed potential to 

penetrate the occupant compartment or 

present undue hazards to other traffic or 

work-zone personnel. The occupant 

compartment was not penetrated and there 

was negligible occupant compartment 

deformation. The Scorpion II Metro met all

involves a 2270P test vehicle impacting the 

system at an angle of 0° with centerline of 

the vehicle aligned with the centerline of 

the TMA. The test evaluates the energy 

dissipation capacity of the TMA, structural
