Book Performance and Operational Experience of Crash Cushions

Download or read book Performance and Operational Experience of Crash Cushions written by John F. Carney and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1994 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of special interest to maintenance, construction, and traffic engineers and others interested in the use of impact attenuation devices or crash cushions for highway operations. Information is provided on the performance and operational experience of 13 crash cushion devices in current use in the United States and Canada, including physical characteristics, test results, and guidelines for use. Both permanent and temporary devices are included. Crash cushions can provide a cost-effective method for reducing or alleviating motor vehicle related injuries or fatalities, which constitute a major societal cost. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents information on the physical and impact performance characteristics of 13 crash cushions in current use in North America. Information on performance evaluation guidelines, physical characteristics, performance characteristics, selection considerations, and the operational experience of individual designs for crash cushions is provided. The synthesis concludes with possible future trends for crash cushions and appendices containing the crash test requirements of NCHRP Report 350: Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features, a crash cushion glossary, and a bibliography.

Book NCHRP Report 350 Test 3 34 of the Modified Connecticut Impact Attenuation System CIAS

Download or read book NCHRP Report 350 Test 3 34 of the Modified Connecticut Impact Attenuation System CIAS written by Wanda L. Menges and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 test designation 3-34 on the Connecticut Impact Attenuation System (CIAS) was performed under an ongoing Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contract in which the Narrow Connecticut Impact Attenuation System (NCIAS) was being evaluated to NCHRP Report 350. The contract for this study called for up to seven full-scale crash tests to be performed on the NCIAS. In lieu of the last test under this contract, Connecticut DOT and FHWA agreed to replace the test on the NCIAS with a test on the CIAS. This report summarizes the results of NCHRP Report 350 test designation 3-34, with the 820-kg vehicle impacting the CIAS at the critical impact point (between the end of the cushion and the beginning of the length of need). The CIAS performed acceptably for all specified criteria except the longitudinal ridedown was marginal, 20.5 g's compared with the limit of 20 g's specified in NCHRP Report 350.
