Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8303271A1] A glarefoil assembly (12) for mounting to a median barrier (10) which divides opposing lanes of a highway system and operates to reduce the glare of headlights from oncoming vehicles. The glarefoil assembly includes a plurality of glare blades (16) which are rigidly attached (26) to a base section (13) in an appropriate light-blocking orientation. The base section is rigidly mounted (36) to the top of the median barrier at opposing ends, thereby preserving some latitude for vibrational movement within this base section. By virtue of the rigid attachment (26) between the glare blades and base section, along with the compatible elastic moduli of these materials, the glarefoil assembly operates as an integral unit providing energy transfer from the glare blades into the base section. Such energy transfer and resultant dissipation prevents material failure developed by pulsating winds which typically arise from passing traffic.
