Abstract
A safety truck includes: an over-cab storage rack to store nested stacks of barrel-type safety barriers ('traffic delineators'); a man basket ('safety module') mounted within an inset formed in a flat bed of the safety truck along the left or right side thereof to provide a support platform below the flat bed to enable personnel to ergonomically place the barrel-type safety barriers on a roadway; a sign cage mounted to the flat bed to store components of warning signs; a display board that includes speed detection radar to detect a speed of a vehicle approaching the safety truck, at least one display device to display a message readable from behind the safety truck, and a camera to capture an image of the approaching vehicle; and/or a truck-mounted attenuator (TMA) connected to the rear of the safety truck to absorb kinetic energy of the approaching vehicle colliding with the TMA.
