Abstract:"Accidents and injuries occur during maintenance activities that could be protected by the ArmorGuard or BalsiBeam mobile barrier systems. The main purpose of this study is to perform a scientific evaluation of the utility of the ArmorGuard system in Caltrans operations with the aim of providing a comparison of this system with the BalsiBeam system. The main research question involves determining the applicability and the cost benefit of using mobile barrier systems such as the ArmorGuard and the BalsiBeam in highway work zones and their comparative evaluation. Data from experimental evaluation and field demonstrations of the ArmorGuard system combined with comprehensive injury data collected in this research from work zone accidents provide the scientific basis for this study. The results include a product usage and deployment guidelines for the ArmorGuard mobile barrier system, a comparative cost benefit analysis of this system and the BalsiBeam system, and an operational comparison of the ArmorGuard system and other mobile barrier systems."
