Cable Safety System (CASS(Trademark)) is being tested by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) along I-35 in McClain County. CASS(Trademark) will be compared with two other systems approved by ODOT. Using C-shaped posts and tensioned cables, CASS(Trademark) is designed to assist in preventing head-on collisions by capturing and redirecting errant vehicles that would other wise traverse the median or a roadway. The system consists of three 3/4 in. 3x7 pre-stretched cables held by 4 in. x 2 in. x 8 gauge mild steel C-channel posts. The post spacing, however, varied with the product; the other produces used approximately, 8 to 10 feet spacing, while the CASS(Trademark) was constructed with a tighter spacing of approximately 6 feet between posts. Since installation, no vehicles have passed through the barrier.
