Crash Cushion Selection Criteria
The Institute for Transportation at Iowa State University has released a report that assesses the safety performance of crash cushion systems based on historical crash information through an in-service performance evaluation. The report documents the cost-effectiveness of each system by collecting the installation, maintenance, and repair costs for each crash cushion; and provides guidance regarding the type of crash cushion to install based on prevalent roadway geometry and traffic characteristics.
