Abstract

Roadside sign structures are usually located adjacent to a traffic lane and because of their location give rise to a safety hazard. Numerous collisions with these structures have been reported and in many instances serious injury or fatalities have occurred. This paper presents the results of the mathematical simulation of vehicle collision with single and dual support aluminium roadside sign structures mounted on frangible bases.
