| 摘要： | The report contains the test procedures, test setup, and test results from three crash tests conducted at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. The vehicles used were 1985 Mazda RX-7's. The purpose of these tests was to investigate three separate attempts at improving the safety performance of the Modified Eccentric Loader Breakaway Cable Terminal (MELT) guardrail end treatment when struck head-on by vehicles with a low-profile or wedge-shaped front end. The improvement to the MELT terminal for two tests consisted of a retrofit attachment (cow-catcher) to the nose section. The third test consisted of a modification to the nose section itself (catchers-mitt). Performance was based on the ability of the modifications to prevent the vehicles from underriding the w-beam rail. The results show that the retrofit cow-catcher attachment and the catchers-mitt modification did not improve the safety performance of the MELT end treatment. Results from the tests are presented as test summaries of data; graphs of data from the transducers affixed to the vehicles; and photographs taken before, during, and after the tests. |
