Abstract

ABSTRACT
The analysis considers the problem of transport safety improvement by application of
additional impact energy dissipating elements. The results from experimental tests and
numeric simulations of basic energy-absorbing element, in the form of sleeve made of
steel and glass-epoxide composite are presented. These results were also used for the
development of reliable numerical model of road barrier and for a simulation of barrier.
The obtained results allowed for the practical usability assessment of the proposed
solution.
