Road safety training centers all over the world serve the purpose of improving safety on the road. Water obstacles and watering systems furnished by Evertz Hydrotechnik are used to simulate dangerous traffic situations of the kinds that can be encountered on the road.

Water obstacles create curtains of water that simulate, for example, suddenly approaching trucks, persons or objects to which the motor car or truck driver must appropriately react.

The water obstacles (between 2 and 12 meters long) are embedded in the road and protected with cover plates. The nozzle bar, whose inclination can be adjusted as necessary, is equipped with variable nozzles and adjusted to suit the slope of the roadway so that the generated water curtain or pattern is always perpendicular. The variable nozzles can be controlled and operated individually so that any type of moving figure can be produced, such as a moving sine wave or curve, etc.

Moreover, irrigation systems for test tracks are available, such as gushing flutes and sprinkler nozzles of a design that allows them to be driven over by vehicles.
