Performance Assessment of Crash Cushions
Crash cushions refer to facilities that absorb an off-lane vehicle's shock energy to make it stop before it crashes into a structure on the road and to correct its driving direction and help it return to its own driving lane. Their performance and functions are tested with actual vehicles.
Performance Assessment of Safety Barriers
The main purpose of a safety barrier is to prevent the vehicles that run off a normal driving path from leaving the road, large lane or sidewalk and at the same time, to reduce passengers' injury and vehicles' damage to a minimum and have those vehicles go back to normal proceeding direction. Additionally, they induce drivers' sight and discourage pedestrians' illegal crossing. Their performance is tested with actual vehicles.
