Evaluation of Design Analysis Procedures and Acceptance Criteria for Roadside Hardware. Volume 4. The Importance of the Occupant Risk Criteria

摘要

The report deals with five broad areas of concern: (1) the importance and effect of soil conditions on the dynamic performance of barriers; (2) methods for re-evaluating pre-Report 230 test results in light of the current Report 230 criteria; (3) linking the occupant risk factor to 'real-world' accident cases; (4) assessing the potential hazards of the redirected vehicle; and, (5) replacement of the 4500-lb test car.
