Performance of breakaway cable and modified eccentric loader terminals in Iowa and North Carolina : In-service evaluation Ray, Malcolm H ; Hopp, Jeffery A

Av: Medverkande: Utgivningsinformation: Transportation Research Record, 2000Beskrivning: nr 1720, s. 44-51Ämnen: Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1720Location: Abstrakt: Developing safe and effective guardrail terminals has been a high priority for roadside safety researchers for several decades. Numerous full-scale crash tests have been performed, and many new types of terminals have been developed. Results are presented of an in-service performance evaluation of two popular guardrail terminals--the breakaway cable terminal and the modified eccentric loader terminal. The data were collected in parts of Iowa and North Carolina during a 24-month period from 1997 to 1999. The collision characteristics, occupant injuries, and barrier damage were evaluated to determine collision performance.
