Abstract
Road restraint systems, including safety barriers, are one of the means used to improve road safety. Currently, they can be allowed to general use after passing the specific crash tests. However, it is always important and desirable to evaluate their performance under various realistic conditions, which can happen on the roads. In this study, the behaviour of the cable barrier system in impact conditions different than assumed by EN 1317 standard was analysed. For this purpose, a full-scale crash test was performed and on the basis of this the validation process of numerical simulations was carried out. Correctly and carefully developed numerical simulations give unique insight into the impact mechanism and allows for comprehensive understanding of barrier responses. The accuracy of the numerical models was assessed by comparing the results of the simulation with the crash test. The research showed that the analysed barrier work correctly, it contained and then properly redirected 1500 kg car back onto the road and ensured safety for the vehicle occupants at the same time.
