This presentation discusses the development of a crash cushion according to European Normative (EN) 1317-3. EN 1317 defines a limit for the maximum deceleration of the vehicle during the impact of a crash cushion through the definition of the Accident Severity Index (ASI) parameter. Crash cushions for impact velocities of 50, 80, 100, and 110 km/h have been designed using a steel honeycomb energy absorber.
