Abstract

During the mid-year meeting of the Transportation Research Board's Committee on Roadside Safety Features (A2A04) in Reno, Nevada, July 2001, the Subcommittee on International Research Activities [A2A04(2)] met separately for a 1-day meeting. The meeting included several presentations by international experts in the field regarding standards for testing, evaluating, and locating roadside safety features. Contained within this E-Circular are several of the presentations selected by the subcommittee. These papers, presentations, slides, and standards should be of interest to the international community concerned with roadside safety features. The papers, entered individually in the TRIS database, are as follows: Update of U.S. Crash Test Procedures, Harry W. Taylor; Standards of Guard Fences, Kazuhiko Ando; Toward a Review of the Need for and Selection of Appropriate End Treatments in Permanent and Work Zone Situations, Peter Casey; Testing, Evaluation, and Application of Standards for Road Safety Devices in South Africa, Ida van Schalkwyk; National Standards--Korea (no author); and Status of Standards for Truck-Mounted Attenuators Outside of the United States, Michael Kempen.
