摘要: |
The objective of this research project has been to evaluate the post-impact performance of two different median barrier systems installed in New Jersey: (1) a three-strand cable median barrier system installed on I-78, and (2) a modified thrie beam median barrier system installed on I-80. The subject research program has evaluated the performance of the I-78 and I-80 median barrier designs in three ways (1) through finite element modeling, (2) through field investigation of crashes into the subject barriers, and (3) through a survey of the median barrier experience of other state DOTs. Although the focus of this study has been on the I-78 and I-80 median barrier designs, the results of this study are expected to provide new insight into the performance of and potential improvements to the design of future median barrier in New Jersey. |
