Abstract:

The material in this circular was compiled from presentations made during a session entitled International Crash Test Standards for Roadside Safety Features, held at the 1993 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting. Mr. Harry W. Taylor, Federal Highway Administration, was the moderator for the session and prepared this circular. The session focused on existing and proposed European and United States crash test acceptance procedures for roadside safety appurtenances, such as guardrails, safety fences, bridge rails, and crash cushions: what they are; how they have been developed; their similarities and differences; and how different standards will be implemented. People attending this session included highway safety researchers, highway agency technical experts, and industry representatives, indicating the high interest in this topic.
