Abstract

The number of vehicle-to-barrier collisions has increased due to improved driving environments. In addition, it is reported that the number of accidents led to impact severity larger than current capacity of a median barrier has increased. It is required to develop a high performance median barrier in order to secure expressway safety. This paper aims at proposing impact loading model and locations for a high performance median barrier based on analysis of median-barrier-related accident history. The SB6 test level (Impact severity: 420 kJ, Mass: 25 ton, Impact speed: 80 km/h, Impact angle: $15^{\circ}$) was suggested for target impact severity based on statistical data analysis. The suitable locations also were proposed from investigation of driver behaviors for installation and rehabilitation of high performance median barrier.

고속도로 통행량 및 주행속도 증가로 인해 중앙분리대 충돌사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 특히 차량의 대형화와 통행 중차량의 증가로 인해 중앙분리대 충돌사고 시 중앙분리대의 방호 성능을 초과하는 사고 역시 증가하는 추세이다. 따라서 고속도로의 안전성을 높이기 위해 고성능 중앙분리대의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문은 고성능 중앙분리대 설치 필요에 따라 성능개선수준(하중모델) 및 설치위치 제안을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 고속도로 중앙분리대 충돌 사고 자료 분석을 통해 고성능 중앙분리대 개발을 위한 성능 개선 수준 SB6등급(충격도 = 420 kJ, 하중: 25 ton, 충돌속도: 80 km/h, 충돌각도: $15^{\circ}$)으로 제안하고 운전자의 운전행태 분석을 통해 개량 및 신설 고성능 중앙분리대 설치 위치를 제안하였다.
