Improving Traffic Safety in Existing and New Road Tunnels with the Novel NDBA Concrete Safety Barrier
Marco Guerrieri,
Nicola Dinnella
Abstract:Two main elements are essential in terms of road traffic safety. The first element is accident prevention and the second is the minimization of accident severity once a crash has occurred. Concrete safety barriers have very good anti-collision performance against roadside obstacles, relatively modest construction and maintenance costs, and low dynamic deflection and therefore are widely used in tunnels. Thanks to their characteristic redirective profile these barriers can redirect errant vehicles into their or… Show more
