Abstract

Australian installation and testing requirements closely follow the current American standards. However our vehicle fleet is more closely aligned to the European scene. This paper discusses Australia's present guard fence installation standards and outlines recent Australian testing of guard fences, light standards and so on. Subtle differences in the design standard used by the various states are also discussed. Using details of our vehicle fleet, suggested vehicle masses for testing are proposed.
