Download MASH Evaluation of TxDOT Roadside Safety Features Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In 2009, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) published the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH), which supersedes the previous crash test and evaluation guidelines. A MASH implementation agreement was jointly developed and adopted by the Federal Highway Administration and AASHTO. It establishes implementation dates for different categories of roadside safety features. Texas Department of Transportation Bridge, Design, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations Divisions reviewed their standards for roadside safety devices and identified those devices that require testing and evaluation to assess MASH compliance. Under this project, roadside safety systems used in Texas will be crash-tested in accordance with MASH criteria in three phases over a 3-year period. A total of 10 devices were tested and evaluated during Phase I. In Phase II, an additional 14 devices were tested and evaluated. In Phase III, which is the subject of this report, an additional 14 devices were tested and evaluated. This report documents the crash testing and evaluation of these devices in accordance with MASH criteria. The critical configurations were identified and critical tests performed to assess MASH compliance.

Download MASH Evaluation of TxDOT Roadside Safety Features - Phase 1 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Bridge, Design, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations Divisions reviewed their standards for roadside safety devices and identified those devices that require testing and evaluation to assess MASH compliance. In Phase I, the following devices were crash tested: 36 inch vertical parapet bridge rail, 1 inch asphalt concrete pavement lateral support for concrete median barrier, pinning pattern for precast concrete barrier on concrete, single and dual embedded wood post sign support systems, pedestal poles with flashing beacons with and without solar assembly, double mailbox system on TxDOT Type 3 foundation and winged channel support, double mailbox system on TxDOT Type 2 foundation and thin walled galvanized tube support, and multi-mailbox system on TxDOT Type 1 foundation and thin walled galvanized tube support.

Download MASH TL-3 Evaluation of the TxDOT TL-3 Low-profile Barrier for High Speed Applications Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In response to the implementation requirements set forth by the Federal Highway Administration, the Texas Department of Transportation Bridge, Design, Maintenance, and Traffic Operations Divisions reviewed their standards for roadside safety devices and identified those devices that require testing and evaluation to assess MASH compliance. Under this phase of the project, the Low-Profile MASH Concrete Barrier (LPCB-13) was evaluated. The objective of this project was to design a TL-3 low-profile barrier for high speed applications and assess its performance according to the safety-performance evaluation guidelines included in MASH for Test Level 3 (TL-3) longitudinal barriers. Based on the detailed computer model simulations results, researchers performed MASH full-scale crash tests on a low-profile portable concrete barrier system comprised of 26-inch tall, 30-ft long barrier segments with a T-shape profile. Based on constructbility feedback, researchers modified the straight side of the barrier to a 1:18 slope, to allow for easiness of construction forming tje TL-3 Low -Profile Barrier performed acceptably as a MASH TL-3 longitudinal barrier.

Download Developing an In-service Performance Evaluation (ISPE) for Roadside Safety Features in Texas Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Current methodologies for the in-service performance evaluation (ISPE) of roadside safety features are not viable and practical for all state departments of transportation. The research team developed an ISPE process that is sensitive to the data and resource constraints of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The following methodology was used to develop The TxDOT-ISPE process: identify the objectives of the ISPE, estimate expected extent of data collection, evaluate existing DOT procedures and organizational structure, identify features to be included in the ISPE, develop framework for an ideal ISPE, identify system constraints within the DOT, identify alternative methodologies and data sources for the ISPE, design DOT-specific ISPE process, design and conduct a pilot test of the ISPE, evaluate the data collection methodology and data quality during the pilot test, and recommend an ISPE process for TxDOT.
