Abstract

A standard Texas traffic rail Type T202 27 inch high was strengthened and modified so that it could restrain and redirect school and intercity buses under 60 mph 15 angle impacts. Tests were done and the results are presented. They show that a simple and economical rail can redirect school and intercity buses at certain speeds and angle impacts. The cost of the rail is about $41 per foot.
