Abrégé

An impact detection system includes: a memory configured to store at least one property of a structure; a sensor unit configured to detect movement of the structure and to generate movement data; and a processor configured to: receive the movement data from the sensor unit; determine, based on the movement data, whether an impact to the structure has occurred; and determine, based upon determining that the impact has occurred, the information about the impact based on the movement data and the at least one property of the structure.

A dock gate barrier system includes: a barrier with first and second ends with a central axis extending therebetween, and a coupling defining a passage; and a support member, from which extends a hitch pin, which extends along a longitudinal axis, and can enter and extend into the coupling passage. The hitch pin and the passage are configured such that: in a first configuration, the hitch pin can enter into/withdraw from, the passage; and in a second configuration, in response to a load being applied to the barrier causing it to bend, the hitch pin is engaged with the coupling to thereby lock the coupling relative to the hitch pin and thereby lock the barrier member to the first support member.

An impact detection system (10) comprises a memory (16), a sensor unit (12) and a processor (14). The memory (16) is configured to store at least one property of a structure. The sensor unit (14) is configured to detect movement of the structure and generate movement data. The processor (14) is configured to receive the movement data from the sensor unit (12) and to determine, based on the movement data, whether an impact to the structure has occurred. When it is determined that an impact has occurred, the processor (14) is configured to determine information about the impact based on the movement data and the at least one property of the structure.
