摘要

This report explains the history of the 'Development of a New Guardrail End Treatment' project, what was accomplished, what problems were encountered, and why it was ultimately terminated. This report will also provide a summary of proprietary products that are currently available on the market that meet most of the initial and/or final design criteria. It is the hope of the authors that lessons learned from the problems encountered in this project will be of value in future roadside safety research.
