The work is devoted to the issues of finite element modeling of energy-absorbing truck mounted attenuators (TMA) used on the shadow vehicles in the zones of stationary and mobile road and construction works to protect workers from collisions with vehicles, as well as to reduce the severity of an accident for the driver who collided. Discusses various designs of TMAs, the main problems in design and defines the criteria for the development of structures based on mathematical modeling by the finite element method.
