• Abstract:
  Since 1964, TTI has been engaged in research on highway illumination with the Texas Highway Department in cooperation with the Bureau of Public Roads. Initially, this research was concerned only with the illumination aspect but the severity of collisions with lighting poles on Texas highways prompted the inclusion of a phase dealing with the impact behavior of lighting poles. Part of this research has been referred to as a "state of the art" study to determine the impact characteristics of the various pole and base mounting designs now in use on Texas highways. In addition, part of the research effort has been devoted to the development and evaluation of a slip base design similar to that used in the break-away sign support.
