TRB Committee on Roadside Safety Design (AFB20)
Scope: The scope of the committee includes identification of research needs and dissemination of research related to the design, testing, selection, placement, and in-service performance of roadside safety features such as traffic barriers; crash cushions; structural supports for luminaires, signals, and utilities; drainage structures; and other safety features located in the transportation system right-of- way. The scope includes consideration of the impact performance, degree of hazard, environmental factors, and cost-effectiveness that must be considered in the design and use of these features. The primary objective is to aid in the development of roadside safety features that provide cost-effective safety to the traveling public.
