The purpose of this report is to list the observed response of vehicles during excursion into the roadside environment. An analysis of the RISER detailed accident database is provided. This analysis is broken down into the different roadside objects that are of interest for safety design. Complementing the database analysis are results from the accident reconstruction and simulation activities. These activities provided key information on the impact conditions for different impact types. This data is necessary for evaluating the relevance of different safety countermeasures. The final piece of documentation provided in this report is the collection and analysis of standardised crash test reports. A range of different safety products were catalogued with their crash test results. These results were compiled to identify what information is available and how it can be applied for road safety designers. The results of this deliverable should be used as a technical reference to Deliverable 06 - European Best Practice for Roadside Design, the main output of the RISER project. (Author/publisher)
