Abstract

This study involved the determination of the impact performance of the Metal Beam Guard Fence (MBGF) median barrier and a comparison of its performance with that of the Concrete Median Barrier (CMB). The impact performance of the MBGF was determined from a combination of crash tests and from crash simulation by the Highway Vehicle Object Simulation (HVOSM). The impact performance of the CMB was obtained from another study.
