Abstract:

This research was conducted to identify and investigate aspects of NCHRP Report 230 which require additional technical research. This report deals with five broad areas of concern: (1) the importance and effect of soil conditions on the dynamic performance of barriers, (2) methods for re-evaluating pre-Report 230 test results in light of the current Report 230 criteria, (3) linking the occupant risk factor to "real-world" accident cases, (4) assessing the potential hazards of the redirected vehicle, and (5) replacement of the 4500-lb test car.
