Safer and faster flexible road barriers
ROBOS is a transformational road barrier system with an automated installation system. Safer for drivers, riders, passengers and workers, its innovative design overcomes the limitations of traditional wire rope barriers.
Reducing Road Deaths and Serious Injuries
Certified to AASHTO MASH TL 4 and approved by Austroads Safety Barrier Assessment Panel (ASBAP), ROBOS is Accepted by Roading Authorities in New Zealand , New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Northern Territory. ROBOS is designed to enable and enhance the Road Safety plans.
ROBOS improves safety for a wider range of road users. Its high speed, automated installation process is safer for operators and reduces traffic disruption.
It also offers the highest benefit-cost ratio of any flexible road barrier.
Innovative road barrier components
The ROBOS system covers a wide range of uses, with its different components making the road safer for a wider group of users. Both roadside and median barriers offer better protection for motorcyclists and heavy vehicles, while the end terminals remove the need for heavy concrete installation. Innovative enhancements allow road barriers to be part of an alert system providing more responsive support for road safety.

Enhanced road safety
With 7 deaths per 100,000 people, New Zealand has a much higher road fatality rate than Europe (where there are no new wire rope barriers). The Road to Zero programme from Waka Kotahi aims to reduce fatalities to 4.8 per 100,000. With protection for a wider range of vehicles and road users, ROBOS can play a significant role in achieving that goal.
ROBOS protects more vehicles
The AASHTO Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) does not cover protection for all vehicle types. The ROBOS flexible barrier system does.

With the ROBOS System, everyone benefits. It’s safer for workers and road users. It’s cost effective for contractors and commissioning agencies. It’s easier to install and maintain. And it has flow-on benefits for emergency services. It’s a transformative and innovative product for the transport sector, engineered right here in New Zealand.
