which is well within the 5 m/s maximum) after the successive impacts.

During the test there was no damage to the windshield, and only minor damage occurred to the

test vehicle’s hood. There was no occupant compartment intrusion or deformation observed, nor
did any test article debris show potential for penetrating the occupant compartment. The results of
this testing met the FHWA requirements and, therefore, the SafetyCade Extended Vertical Panel
Barricade is acceptable for use on the National Highway System under the range of conditions
tested, when proposed by a state.

The SafetyCade is a patented product and is considered “proprietary.” The use of proprietary
work zone traffic control devices in Federal-aid projects is generally of a temporary nature. They
are selected by the contractor for use as needed and removed upon completion of the project.
Under such conditions they can be presumed to meet requirement "a" given below for the use of
proprietary products on Federal-aid projects. On the other hand, ifproprientary devices are
specified for use on Federal-aid projects, except exempt, non-NH’S projects, they: (a) must be
supplied through competitive bidding with equally suitable unpatented items; (b) the highway
agency must certify that they are essential for synchronization with existing highway facilities or
that no equally suitable alternative exists or, (c) theymust be used for research or for a diitive

On August 7, 2013, the Federal Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (copy attached) approving
the purchase, by Plasticade, of the molds, trademarks, and patents related to the Safetycade Type II
Barricade and the Safetycade Extended Vertical Panel Barricade, also referred to as the Verticade.
These devices were originally manufactured by WLI Industries, Inc. In 1999, WLI became a subsidiary
of the Highway Technologies Group of United Rentals, Inc., and, subsequently, Highway
Technologies, Inc. became an independent entity. Plasticade has bought these assets from the
bankruptcy estate of Highway Technologies.

On June 19, 1997 Acceptance Letter WZ-01 was issued by FHWA accepting the Safetycade Type II
Barricade and the Safetycade Vertical Barricade as being crashworthy under NCHRP-350;
subsequently, WZ-15 was issued for the Safetycade Extended Vertical Barricade. All models were
accepted with lightweight warning lights.

We request that both WZ-01 and WZ-15 be reissued (maybe as WZ-01A and WZ-15A) to Plasticade
as the new owner of these devices. The devices now being manufactured by Plasticade are identical
in all aspects to the original products — the same molds are being utilized and the same Bills of
Materials are being used.

SafelyCade Baricade Crash Test Results c-3



In each test two barricades were struck. They were struck
sequencially, the first being in the normal position and the
second in a perpendicular orientation about 8 m downstream of the
first. The tests were conducted on smooth, dry concrete
pavement. A summary of the test results is presented in the
table below.

E-Tech Test Number 05-0916-001 05-0916-002
SafetyCade Model Vertical Type It

(Model ISC-102VL) (Model ISC-154L!)
Mass (with ballast) 36.25 kg 38.25 kg
Vehicle Mass 812 kg 812 kg
Impact Speed (N*) 102.0 kmh 102.00 kmh
Impact Speed (P*) 96.10 kmh 97.70 kmh
Velocity Change (N) 2.24 kmh (0.62 mvs) 2.09 kmh (0.58 m/s)
Velocity Change (P) 2.08 kmh (0.58 mvs) 1.89 kmh (0.53 mvs)

*N and P refer to the Normal and Perpendicular orientation of the
barricade. Because two barricades (one N and one P) struck
during the same test were separated longitudinally, the test
vehicle slowed prior to striking the second barricade.

The barricades were destroyed during all four impacts. The
majority of the vehicle damage was limited to the bumper and the
hood. No parts of the test articles showed potential for
penetrating the occupant compartment. The warning light and its
support bracket broke from the top of the barricade in each
impact causing no damage to the windshield in test 05-0916-001
and only a crack in the windshield in test 05-0916-002.

(The mass of the warning light, which is mounted on top of the
barricade, was 0.4 kg. The batteries, which are located at the
base of the barricade, were 1.25 kg.)

The severity index for the perpendicular impact in test 05-0916-
001 was 2.3 kJ below the recommended minimum value of 291.6 kJ,
but this was judged to be of no significant consequence in this
test. As allowed in section 3.2.3.2 of the NCHRP Report 350, low
speed testing was omitted because it was determined that the high
speed test would be the more critical. Tests with the 2000P
vehicle were not conducted because, from a study of the front
profile of the pick-up truck and small car in relation to the
geometry of the test articles, it was concluded that there was
less potential for an element of one of the test articles
penetrating the occupant compartment of the pick-up truck than
the small car. We concur in these judgements.

Dear Mr. Ross:

This is in response to your February 11 letter to Mr. James
Hatton requesting Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA)
acceptance of your "SafetyCade" work zone barricade as acceptable
for use on the National Highway System (NHS). Accompanying your
letter was a copy of a report and a video on the crash testing
conducted by E-Tech Testing Services, Inc. The "SafetyCade"TM
barricades are plastic, collapsible, three-piece systems
consisting of an upright panel and two legs. They are molded
from high-density polyethylene plastic and can be equipped with
an optional plastic molded light, a battery compartment mounted
below bumper height, and retro-reflective sheeting. The
"SafetyCade" can also be equipped with a sand-filled plastic boot
for ballast to counteract wind gusts from traffic on high-speed
highways. A patented spring-loaded mechanism enables the
barricade to remain vertical until struck, and then lay flat on
the pavement after impact. Drawings and specifications
describing the barricades and all the optional features and
batteries present when tested are enclosed.

Full-scale automobile testing was conducted on two styles of
"SafetyCade" barricades to assess their crashworthiness according
to the criteria in the National Cooperative Highway Research
Program (NCHRP) Report 350

Performance Evaluation of Highway Safety Features. Vertical
(Model ISC-102VL} and Type II (Model ISC-154LI) barricades were
impacted in separate tests conforming to the NCHRP Report 350
test designation 3-71 (820 C vehicle, 100 kmh speed, zero degree
angle of impact.) Because the devices are free-standing and have
a mass of less than 45 kg, measurement of occupant impact
velocities and ridedown accelerations are not required. The
primary purposes of testing devices of this nature are to assess
the potential for occupant compartment intrusion and the test
vehicle's post-impact trajectory.

Dear Mr. Ross:

Thank you for your letter of April 1,1999, requesting Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
acceptance of your company’s “SafetyCade Extended Vertical Panel Barricade” as a crashworthy
tragic control device for use in work zones on the National Highway System Accompanying
your letter was a copy ofthe crash test report by E-Tech Testing Services, Inc., and video
documentation of the crash tests. You requested that we find the tested devices acceptable for
use on the National Highway System.

FHWA guidance on crash testing of work zone tragic control devices is contained in two
memoranda. The first, dated July 25, 1997, titled “Information: Identifying Acceptable Highway
Safety Features,” established four categories of work zone devices: Category I-devices were those
lightweight devices which could be self-certified by the vendor, Category II devices were other
lightweight devices which needed individual crash testing, Category III devices were barriers and
other fixed or massive devices also needing crash testing, and Category IV devices were trailer
mounted lighted signs, arrow panels, etc. The second guidance memorandum was issued on
August 28, and is titled “INFORMATION: Crash Tested Work Zone Traffic Control Devices.”
This recent memorandum lists devices that are acceptable under Categories I, Il, and Ill.

The WLI "SafetyCade Extended Vertical Panel Barricade” is a plastic (high density polyethelyne),
collapsible, three-piece barricade system consisting of an upright panel and two legs. The design
of the new extended panel SafetyCade is very similar to WLI’s previous SafetyCade which was
qualified to NCHRP Report 350 by our letter WZ-1 dated 6-19-97. The new extended panel
SafetyCade houses the entire warning light assembly in a special receptacle in the top of the
barricade whereas the earlier design had a separate compartment for the warning light battery
below bumper height. The test article was outfitted with the “ToughLite 2000 L.E.D. Warning
Light” and two optional sand-filled ballast boots locked onto the barricade leg. The test article
mass. including the warning light, was 14.1 kg. The two sand-filled boots had a mass of 11.4 kg
each The overall height is 1296 mm and is 419~mm_ wide.

Full-scale automobile testing was conducted on your company’s vertical panel. Two examples of
the device were tested in tandem, one head-on and the next at 90 degrees, as called for in our
guidance memorandum The impact speed with the first device was 100.4 km/hr and 97.0 knvhr
