No, Smart Guardrail is a concept design, and have not been implemented yet.
The problem of this design is if the Live Box are sent, can it be recycled or reuse? To make a product sustainable and environment friendly is important.

Since the article reported that this is the fourth edition of the design, most of the problems are solved during the refurbishment of product. So there are not many problems with the design as they tested with the publics. But they plan to make the bridge “stronger, longer, lighter, more compact and quicker to set up”.
This design not yet implemented to any case in the report, but from the tests they did with the fields, the design is said to be successful in its aim and application.
This designed win the national James Dyson Award, and not sure it is implemented yet or not. But I think this product could be implemented and just depend on the cost of the manufacturing.
