abstract="Impact evaluations are presented for several curb-guardrail combinations. The evaluations are carried out by conservatively assessing the possibility that a vehicle will vault a guardrail after it impacts a curb. Three parameters are examined: Approach velocity, approach angle, and guardrail setback from the curb face. Vaulting analyses are carried out by using curb-impact simulation data as imput to an analytically derived vaulting equation. All curb-guardrail combinations subjected to evaluation were found to be free of potential vaulting problems. A review of all known curb-guardrail tests shows no identifiable cases of vaulting by standard passenger-car test vehicles. A review of curb-guardrail use and the development of optimized curb-guardrail configurations are recommended. /author/<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
