• Abstract:
  The objective of this project was to develop a new test method for evaluating the impact performance ; of delineators for given applications. The researchers focused on developing a test method that was ; reproducible and attempted to reproduce failure modes witnessed through field observations. The ; researchers also attempted to optimize the testing standard to minimize the cost and effort to evaluate the ; products. The researchers feel that the process was successful, and a balanced testing standard meeting all ; requirements has been developed.
