Roadway departure crashes tend to be severe, especially when the roadside exposes the
occupants of errant vehicles to excessive injury hazards. As a cost-effective method when …

The objective of this study was to develop crash modification factors (CMFs) and estimate
the average crash costs applicable to a wide range of road-barrier scenarios that involved …

Unlike most of traffic safety treatments that prevent crashes, road barriers reduce the severity
of crash outcomes by replacing crashes with a high risk of severe injury and fatality (such as …

This paper presents median cable barrier safety effectiveness by numbers as experienced
on Tennessee highways. Apart from descriptive statistics and parametric tests, before and …

Median barrier is used to prevent cross-median crashes on divided highways. Although it is
well documented that crash frequencies increase after installing median barrier, little is …

Roadside safety is one of the important components of highway systems due to its
considerable rate of high-severity crashes. Traffic barriers play a key role in reducing the …

Introduction: This study investigates the impact of several risk factors (ie, roadway, driver,
vehicle, environmental, and barrier-specific characteristics) on the injury severity resulting …

Median-crossover crashes are among the most hazardous events that can occur on
freeways, often resulting in severe or fatal injuries. The primary countermeasure to reduce …

By using historical crash data, several regression-type models were developed with which to
estimate the effects of the installation of cable median barrier on crash rates for several …

Although guardrail systems are designed to reduce crash impacts for errant vehicles, the
actual effects of in-service guardrail on reducing crash severity have been rarely validated …
