Abstract:The continuous increase in traffic accidents, following the rise in the number of vehicles in traffic and their speed, requires the development of research on the design of active and passive safety systems. This research mainly aims to compare the performance of commonly used passive safety systems (semi-heavy W-beam guardrails) mounted on roadside and pedestrian bridges to protect vehicles and pedestrians. It is intended to reduce the deformations of the vehicle upon impact with the protective device mounted… Show more
