摘要: |
A wide variety of traffic controlling devices are used in work zones, some of which are not normally found on the roadside or in the traveled way outside of the work zones. These devices are used to enhance the safety of the work zones by controlling the traffic through these areas. Due to the placement of the traffic control devices, the devices themselves may be potentially hazardous to both workers (or bystanders) and errant vehicles. The objective of the research project was to evaluate the safety performance of existing aluminum type III barricades through full-scale crash testing. The safety performance evaluations were conducted according to the Test Level 3 (TL-3) criteria set forth in the NCHRP Report No. 350. |
