Revolutionizing Road Safety: The Portable TPR Car-rescue-track

Award-winning design by Xuesong Li offers a lifeline to drivers in challenging conditions

The Portable TPR Car-rescue-track is a testament to the power of innovative design. Drawing inspiration from the performance-enhancing spikes of football shoes, Xuesong Li has created a tool that enhances the grip of vehicles on icy or muddy roads. The retractable spikes of the Car-rescue-track ensure safe passage for vehicles, reducing the risk of slipping or getting stuck.

What sets this design apart is its unique combination of functionality and portability. When extended, the rescue track measures 71cm in length, providing ample support for vehicles. When not in use, it folds up into a compact, portable tool that is easy to store and carry. The design is as stylish as it is practical, making it a must-have accessory for any driver.

The Car-rescue-track is made primarily from Thermo-Plastic-Rubber (TPR), chosen for its excellent abrasive resistance, skid resistance, and vibration reduction. The use of TPR, combined with essential metal structural components, ensures the durability and effectiveness of the product. An anti-skidding adjustable nail at the bottom of the track further enhances its grip, minimizing the possibility of slipping.

The design process, which took place in Shenyang from February to May 2016, was not without its challenges. However, the simplicity of the design, coupled with the low material cost, facilitated its realization. The end result is a product that is not only easy to use but also environmentally friendly, thanks to the use of environmentally friendly TPR rubber and galvanized steel.

The Portable TPR Car-rescue-track is a testament to Xuesong Li's innovative thinking and design prowess. It is a shining example of how design can be used to solve real-world problems, in this case, enhancing road safety. The design's recognition with a Silver A' Design Award is a testament to its excellence and innovation.
