Truck-mounted attenuators (TMAs) are essential safety devices used in highway work zones to protect workers and motorists from collisions. These impact-absorbing systems are mounted on the rear of a truck and help reduce crash severity by dissipating kinetic energy upon impact. TMAs are designed to minimize damage to vehicles and prevent fatalities in roadside construction areas. They are commonly deployed in high-traffic areas, truck mounted attenuators acting as mobile barriers for maintenance and emergency response teams.
