TY - JOUR PY - 1973// TI - Optimum policy for warrants for and design of guardrails JO - Accident analysis and prevention A1 - Edamura, T SP - 193 EP - 202 VL - 5 IS - 3 N2 - An optimum policy for the warrants for and the design of guardrails based on benefit maximizing criteria is presented. It is shown that the strength, the number of classes of standards, and the location of guardrails should be determined simultaneously with due consideration for the nation-wide distribution of roadside dangers and the impact of colliding vehicles. Dynamic programming is used for optimization.
