Abstract
The paper will present a proposed approach to such work along with preliminary results of numerical studies for selected problems using road safety devices such as safety barriers on horizontal curves, the effect of kerbs on bridges or the location of obstacles within the barrier’s working width. The paper will discuss assumptions to a methodology of numerical models, calculations and automated processing of data to help with assessing the functionality of the devices.The paper will outline the design of the method for selecting optimal road safety devices. This will be based on device selection factors, fieldwork, surveys and simulations. The models andprocedures used in the method will help to identify and link different sources of hazard when using road safety devices to tackle a specific event and will help to identify the weaknesses in the safe use of types of road safety devices. The method will take account of the effect of different factors on optimising device selection. They are: types of hazard sources, road class and its parameters, road traffic parameters (volume, structure, speed). The method will be further developed in new research.
