Test and Evaluation of Vehicle Arresting,Energy Absorbing,and Impact Attenuation Systems. Appendix F.

摘要

Full scale vehicle crash tests were conducted to evaluate a variety of vehicle arresting,redirecting,energy absorbing,and impact attenuation systems. In addition,research work was done to establish the feasibility of using steel drums, lighweight cellular concrete,corrugated metal pipe,and concrete pipe as energy absorbing materials for such vehicle impact attenuation systems. As of the writing of the report,several of the vehicle impact attenuation systems developed or tested and evaluated on the project have been successfully implemented on the nation's highways. (Author)
