• Abstract:
  The current study was conducted along the entire Interstate 70 to investigate how median slopes influence guard cable ; effectiveness. It was found out that the success rates for guard cables installed on both steeper and flatter slopes are high. Median ; slope does not solely affect guard cable effectiveness. Factors such as vehicle type, roadway horizontal and vertical alignment, ; and guard cable horizontal distance, do not solely contribute to the effectiveness of guard cable either. The inclusion of crash ; related data such as vehicle speed and collision angle could make it possible to get a more complete capture of guard cable ; performance. However, that data is not available at this time.
