Abstract

Criteria for installing guardrail protection at embankments are based on the relative severity of a vehicle leaving the road and going down an embankment as compared to striking the guardrail. The severity of leaving the roadway was determined by use of a dynamic vehicle simulation model. Full scale vehicle embankment tests were used to validate the Texas' version of the highway-vehicle-object simulation model are reported.
