This report summarizes the research efforts of using finite element modeling and simulations to evaluate the performance of W-beam guardrails and cable median barriers on six-lane, 46-foot median divided freeways. A literature review is included on performance evaluation of W-beam guardrails and cable barriers as well as applications of finite element modeling and simulations in roadside safety research.

The main objectives of this research task were to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the single-unit truck (SUT) finite element model with respect to its ability to accurately simulate its interaction with roadside safety hardware and to identify areas of possible improvements. The model’s primary purpose is to be used as a “bullet” object for computational evaluation of roadside safety hardware. This report outlines the methodology used in evaluating, validating against experimental data and updating the FE model. A new Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)-based documentation has been developed to facilitate the model adoption and understanding of prospective users. The overall methodology used by the participants - from evaluation to validation to documentation - is outlined in this report and can be applied to other basic vehicle FE models currently available in public domain. The goal of the project was also to establish a methodology for validation and verification of the finite element models used in roadside hardware analysis so that it could be applied to other vehicle finite element models currently under development.
