“…The most important function of road safety devices is to protect road and roadside users from the risk of injury or death. While there is extensive independent research into the effects of selected factors on road safety device functionality [8], a comprehensive approach is still in short supply.…”

Abstract. Road safety devices are designed to protect road users from the risk of injury or death. The principal type of restraint is the safety barrier. Deployed on sites with the highest risk of run-off-road accidents, safety barriers are mostly found on bridges, flyovers, central reservations, and on road edges which have fixed obstacles next to them. If properly designed and installed, safety barriers just as other road safety devices, should meet a number of functional features. This report analyses factors which may deteriorate functionality, ways to prevent this from happening and the thresholds for loss of road safety device functionality.

Today barrier types are frequently selected for their price with little regard for the total costs the structure will incur over its lifetime. One of the basic tools designed to manage road infrastructure is the life cycle cost method (LCC, Life cycle cost). It sums up the costs to plan, design, build, operate (use and maintain) and decommission a road structure. Having developed dynamically at the turn of the century the method is now widely applied in a number of industries including traffic engineering. Today, depending on data availability and calculation complexity, two groups of life cycle assessments are distinguished: analytical and parametric. Unfortunately, each comes with some limitations and the search for a new universal life cycle cost calculation method continues. The authors propose their own general concept of a method for estimating the life cycle costs of road safety barriers. The article presents a multi-stage process to build the method which is based on international experience and real test site data.

Abstract. The project RID 3A Road Safety Equipment (RoSE) implemented by the Gdansk University of Technology within the RID programme, aims to conduct a comprehensive study and analyses of different vehicle containment systems (PN-EN 1317) and types of support structures (PN-EN 12767) and their performance. Within the project an analysis will be conducted of available research reports and domestic and foreign experiences looking at road restraint systems and support structures applications. The paper will present a comparison of the guidelines and principles for the design and application of road restraint systems. Similarities and differences in the approach to different solutions will also be discussed. The above analyses will form the basis for the development of tools for selecting and applying road restraint systems in Poland.
