Abstract

An optimum policy for the warrants for and the design of guardrails based on benefit maximizing criteria is presented. It is shown that the strength, the number of classes of standards, and the location of guardrails should be determined simultaneously with due consideration for nation-wide distribution of roadside dangers and the impact of colliding vehicles. Dynamics programming is used for optimization.
