Where is a crash attenuator located?

A crash attenuator is typically located at the front or rear of a vehicle, particularly in race cars or commercial trucks, to absorb the impact energy during a collision. It is designed to reduce the severity of the crash and protect both the occupants of the vehicle and other road users. In highway or road environments, crash attenuators can also be found at the ends of guardrails or barriers to mitigate the effects of vehicle impacts.
