This paper summerizes the efforts of the United States Government to support international harmonization of test and evaluation procedures for roadside safety features. It also summerizes the proceedings of an international workshop on the International Harmonization of Test and Evaluation Procedures for Roadside Safety Features jointly sponsored by the Transportation Research Board Committee on Roadside Safety Features and the Federal Highway Administration. The workshop was held at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board on January 13, 1991. The workshop focused on identifying different test and evaluation procedures, the philosophies behind the procedures, and possible conflicts in procedures which prevent developing a common measurement system.
