Book Synopsis MASH Evaluation of TxDOT Roadside Safety Features by : Roger P. Bligh
Download or read book MASH Evaluation of TxDOT Roadside Safety Features written by Roger P. Bligh and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2009, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH), which supersedes the previous crash test and evaluation guidelines. A MASH implementation agreement was jointly developed and adopted by the Federal Highway Administration and AASHTO. It establishes implementation dates for different categories of roadside safety features. Texas Department of Transportation Bridge, Design, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations Divisions reviewed their standards for roadside safety devices and identified those devices that require testing and evaluation to assess MASH compliance. Under this project, roadside safety systems used in Texas will be crash-tested in accordance with MASH criteria in three phases over a 3-year period. A total of 10 devices were tested and evaluated during Phase I. In Phase II, an additional 14 devices were tested and evaluated. In Phase III, which is the subject of this report, an additional 14 devices were tested and evaluated. This report documents the crash testing and evaluation of these devices in accordance with MASH criteria. The critical configurations were identified and critical tests performed to assess MASH compliance.

Download or read book Roadside Design Guide written by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Task Force for Roadside Safety and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2011 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Roadside Design Guide presents a synthesis of current information and operating practices related to roadside safety and is written in dual units-metric and U.S. Customary. This book is a guide. It is not a standard, nor is it a design policy. It is intended to use as a resource document from which individual highway agencies can develop standards and policies. Although much of the material in the guide can be considered universal in its application, several recommendations are subjective in nature and may need modification to fit local conditions. However, it is important that significant deviations from the guide be based on operational experience and objective analysis. The 2011 edition of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide has been updated to include hardware that has met the evaluation criteria contained in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350: Recommended Procedures for the Safety Performance Evaluation of Highway Features and begins to detail the most current evaluation criteria contained under the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware, 2009 (MASH). For the most part, roadside hardware tested and accepted under older guidelines that are no longer applicable has not been excluded in this edition." -- AASHTO website.
Book Synopsis Developing an In-service Performance Evaluation (ISPE) for Roadside Safety Features in Texas by :
Download or read book Developing an In-service Performance Evaluation (ISPE) for Roadside Safety Features in Texas written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current methodologies for the in-service performance evaluation (ISPE) of roadside safety features are not viable and practical for all state departments of transportation. The research team developed an ISPE process that is sensitive to the data and resource constraints of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The following methodology was used to develop The TxDOT-ISPE process: identify the objectives of the ISPE, estimate expected extent of data collection, evaluate existing DOT procedures and organizational structure, identify features to be included in the ISPE, develop framework for an ideal ISPE, identify system constraints within the DOT, identify alternative methodologies and data sources for the ISPE, design DOT-specific ISPE process, design and conduct a pilot test of the ISPE, evaluate the data collection methodology and data quality during the pilot test, and recommend an ISPE process for TxDOT.

Book Synopsis Severity Indices for Roadside Features by : Daniel S. Turner
Download or read book Severity Indices for Roadside Features written by Daniel S. Turner and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators, safety officials, design engineers, traffic engineers, and analysts who are concerned with improving highway safety. Severity indices, which serve as indicators of the expected injury consequences of a crash, are an integral part of the analysis of proposed roadside safety improvements. Severity indices that have been developed by many states and research agencies are described, as are the issues associated with developing the values, and applying and evaluating the indices. The history of severity indices, the issues associated with estimating accident severity and associated costs, and the range of indices that have been developed are described. This publication of the Transportation Research Board also discusses the relationship of accident severity indices with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Roadside Design Guide and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ROADSIDE computer program. While research since the 1960s has sought to quantify severity indices for a range of object types and impact conditions, there remains a wide variation in the values from which analysts may choose when performing cost effectiveness evaluations.

Book Synopsis Designing Safe Road Systems by : Jan Theeuwes
Download or read book Designing Safe Road Systems written by Jan Theeuwes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books focus on individual differences and how those relate to traffic safety such as accident proneness, gender differences, age, alcohol, and the effects of drugs. Others focus on the safety effects regarding the vehicle such as airbags, anti-lock brakes, navigation systems, intelligent cruise control and other new gadgets coming to the vehicle. Even though these topics are undoubtedly important for traffic safety, this book takes a unique approach as it focuses solely on the road environment. Designing Safe Road Systems provides the background for those who want to know more about the effects of road design on driving behaviour. It uses a systems approach to allow a better understanding of why and in what circumstances drivers may commit errors. This understanding will ultimately lead to road systems that prevent (fatal) errors from occurring. The book contains an overview of the current models and theories about human performance and human behaviour in traffic that are relevant for all those involved in designing safe road systems. The central theme of this book is how design principles can reduce the probability of an error while driving. The authors demonstrate how knowledge of human factors helps a road authority to better understand how road users behave. They argue that in many cases the design of the environment can be further adjusted to human capabilities, and that safety should be considered a system property to be built into the road system.
