Abstract

Computer program simulation techniques to evaluate the vehicle impact-vaulting potential of several in-service curb-guardrail combinations are employed. It is concluded that a properly designed curb-guardrail combination can be an efficient re-directive system in which the curb acts as a low-damage deflector for many impacts and the guardrail acts as a backup barrier.
