摘要: This report documents the results of three crash tests conducted at the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. The objective of these tests was to evaluate the safety performance of two large sign support systems provided by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Two multidirectional triangular slip base sign support systems were tested. The National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 350, Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features (NCHRP Report 350), was used as guide for the test procedures followed and for the safety performance evaluation of the sign supports. The safety performance evaluation criteria specify, in part, that the occupant change in velocity must be 5 m/s or less, that the significant test article stub height remaining after impact be no greater than 100 mm, and that there can be no occupant compartment intrusion. These three major evaluation criteria are used in this report to determine whether or not the sign supports meet or do not meet the FHWA's acceptable performance level for sign supports. The results indicate that the two multidirectional sign support systems do not meet the FHWA safety performance criteria.
