Abstract
In transportation sector, the roadway transportation rank high in travel and also in reportable accidents. Nowadays, there are
various changes in road network and infrastructure developments done in our country. But according to the statistical report
“Road Accident in India 2012” released by the Government of India, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) the
reportable accidents, injury and fatality rates were in increasing order for the past decade up to 2011 and there is only a slight
decline in the year 2012. When compared with other States and Union Territories, Tamilnadu tops two in road accidents and
fatalities. In these accidents a considerable amount of accidents are due to vehicle-divider and vehicle-barrier collisions. This
paper suggests and devises flexible median divider using suitable polymer material, so as to reduce the risk level during median
divider accidents.
Keywords: Flexible Barrier, Impact attenuator, Median divider accident, Risk reduction

1. INTRODUCTION
Road accidents are a human tragedy, which involve high
human suffering. They impose a huge socio-economic cost
in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential
income. The ramifications of road accidents can be colossal
and its negative impact is felt not only on individuals, their
health and welfare, but also on the economy. Consequently,
road safety has become an issue of national concern.
1.1 Road Accident in India
In India, the expansion in the road network, surge in
motorization and a rising population of a country contribute
towards increasing numbers of road accidents, road accident
injuries and road accident fatalities. Between 1970 and
2012, the number of road accidents increased by 4.3 times
accompanied with 9.5 times increase in road accidents
fatalities and 7.3 times increase in the number of persons
injured in road accidents in India.
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of number of
road accidents and persons injured in road accidents in the
country during the decade 2002 to 2012 has decreased at 1.9
percent and 2.2 percent respectively as compared to earlier
decade i.e. 1992 to 2002, when the same was reported at 4.0
percent and 4.3 percent respectively. However, in case of
road accident fatalities, the CAGR at 5.0 percent showing
increase during the decade (2002 to 2012) over the decade
(1992 to 2002), when the same was at 0.6 percent.
1.2 Road Traffic Collisions
Road traffic collisions generally fall into one of four
common types:
 Lane departure crashes, which occur when a driver
leaves the lane they are in and collide with another
vehicle or a roadside object. These include head on
collisions and run-off-road collisions.
 Collisions at junctions include rear-end collision
and angle or side impacts.
 Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists
 Collisions with animals
Although other types of collision do occur. Rollovers are not
very common, but lead to greater rates of severe injury and
death. Some of these are secondary events that occur after a
collision with a run-off-road crash or a collision with
another vehicle.
1.3 Causes of Road Accidents
The high socio-economic cost of the injuries and fatalities,
occurring due to road accidents, and the need for effective
policies for curbing road accidents make it imperative to
study the causes of road accidents. The various major causes
of Road Accidents are listed below.
 Fault of Driver
 Fault of Cyclist
 Fault of Pedestrian
 Defect in Condition of Motor Vehicle
 Defect in Road Condition
 Weather Condition
 Fault of Driver of other vehicle
 Fault of Passenger
 Poor Light Condition
 Other Causes
1.4 Traffic Barriers
Traffic barriers, sometimes called crash barriers keeps the
vehicles within their roadway and prevent vehicles from
colliding with dangerous obstacles such as boulders,

buildings, walls or large storm drains. Traffic barriers are
also installed at the road side to prevent errant vehicles from
traversing steep (non-recoverable) slopes or entering deep
water. Traffic barriers are installed within medians of
divided highways to prevent errant vehicles from entering
the opposing carriageway of traffic and help to reduce head-
on collisions. Some of these barriers, designed to be struck
from either side, are called median barriers. Crash barriers
can also be used to protect vulnerable areas like school
yards, pedestrian zones or fuel tanks from errant vehicles.
The barriers are designed to minimize injury to vehicle
driver and the persons occupying the vehicle, injuries do
occur in collisions with traffic barriers.
The traffic barriers categorized by function they serve are
 Roadside barrier
 Median barrier
 Bridge barrier
 Work zone barrier
The traffic barriers categorized by how much they deflect
when a vehicle crash into them are
 Flexible barrier
 Semi-Rigid barrier
 Rigid barrier
1.5 4E’s of Road Safety
The Government has adopted a multi pronged strategy to
address the issue of road safety based on 4 E’s of Road
Safety viz.
1. Education
2. Enforcement
3. Engineering
4. Environment and Emergency care.
The scope of the project is to reduce the road accidents and
it’s severity of the accidents happened by the collision
between vehicle and barrier/divider by applying the 4 E’s
concept of Road Safety and particularly applying
Engineering concept.
1.5.1 Traffic Calming
Traffic Calming is a set of engineering measures to reduce
speeds and volumes of motor vehicle traffic in local areas.
The technique has been successfully used in developed
countries and hold promise for the developing countries
also. Some of the measures include:
 Speed breakers or humps
 Rumble strips
 Crash cushions
 Road narrowing
 Separate cycle tracks
1.5.2 Traffic Impact Attenuators
On modern highways like the Expressways and busy
National Highways where vehicles travel at high speeds,
collision of speeding vehicles with fixed objects (like bridge
abutments and structural columns etc.) is a common type of
road accidents. The exit gore area in interchanges (i.e., the
area downstream from the shoulder intersection point of the
main carriageway and an exit road) is common area where
serious accidents are known to take place. Traffic Impact
Attenuators or Crash Cushions are protective systems which
prevent errant vehicles from impacting hazard by either
smoothly decelerating the vehicle to a stop when hit head-
on, or by redirecting it away from the hazard for glancing
impacts. These barriers are used to shield rigid objects or
hazardous conditions that cannot be removed, relocated or
made break way. The main design considerations for
attenuators as per Unified Traffic and Transportation
Infrastructure Planning & Engineering Centre (UTTIPEC)
released by Delhi Development Authority are
 For Normal containment zone the attenuators
should be designed to provide the 15 KN vehicle at
110 km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact
 For Low containment zone the attenuators should
be designed to provide the 15 KN vehicle at 80
km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact
 For High containment zone the attenuators should
be designed to provide the 30 KN vehicle at 60
km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact
There are many types of traffic impact attenuators in use in
developed countries but the ones most relevant to Indian
Conditions are:
1. Empty Steel Drum Assembly
2. Hi-Dro Cell cluster and
3. Cushions of scrap tyres
1.6 ANSYS Software
ANSYS is an engineering simulation software (Computer-
Aided Engineering or CAE). It offers engineering
simulation sets in engineering simulation that a design
process requires. Companies in a wide variety of industries
use ANSYS software. The tools put a virtual product
through a rigorous testing procedure (such as crashing a car
into a brick wall, or running for several years on tarmac
road) before it becomes a physical object.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The below methodology chart shows that the step by step
procedure followed in this project.

The above accident reports shows that the barrier collision
accident rate is increased more than double times and these
accidents mostly happened at night time.
3.2 Proposing of New Technique to Reduce barrier
Collision Accident
After analyzing the various barrier collision accidents and
examining the location of accidents happened the below
techniques are proposed, which may reduce the Barrier
Collision Accident.
Fig -3.1: Arrangement of Flexible Barriers
 Fixing the FLEXIBLE BARRIER in Zigzag
manner in front of the Jersey Barrier (Fig- 3.1)
 Constructing the small Speed Breakers (Rumble
Strips) over the Restricted Path (White Marking)
made in front of the Flexible Barrier (Fig- 3.1)
The Rumble strip arrangement is made to reduce the speed
of the vehicle and also to alert driver about the hazard. The
Zigzag arrangement of the flexible barrier will be suitable
for both 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler accidents. When 2-
wheeler hits the barrier it will get in between the gap
provided in the barrier arrangement. And when 4-wheeler
hits the barrier then the barrier will get flexed and accident
effect will be reduced.
3.3 Analyzing the Property of Material to be used
for New Barrier
Flexible PVC is a Flexible Plastic Material. It is
manufactured from Anti-Ageing customized plastic
compound with PVC as a base polymer and Exhibiting
required properties like
 High Elasticity Strength,
 High Tensile Strength,
 Can bear shocks of heavy turbines,
 Excellent weather resistant,
 Unaffected by acids, alkalis, metals salts and other
chemicals,
 Lower water absorption,
 Immune to Corrosion,
 Withstand high Hydrostatic pressure, Earth quakes,
Floods etc…

be suitable for the new flexible barrier.
3.4 Design and Analysis of Flexible Barrier
The size and shape of the Flexible barrier is designed after
analyzing the vehicle properties and previous type of
barriers and its performances. The Flexible barrier is
provided with nail hole at bottom for fixing the flexible
barrier to the road. And also it can be fixed below the
ground using concrete. The new flexible barrier is provided
with base diameter 0.18m, height 0.85m and weight is
12.5kg. And the post bottom diameter is 0.13m and top

Fig -3.2: Design details of Flexible Barrier
After the design the created model is analyzed using
ANSYS analysis software. The model is tested with the
specifications mentioned in the “Guidelines and
Specifications for Crash Barriers, Pedestrians Railings and
Dividers” released by Delhi Development Authority, Unified
Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Planning &
Engineering Centre (UTTIPEC).
Fig -3.3: Displacement of Flexible Barrier when applying
load
Fig -3.4: Nodal solution Flexible Barrier when applying
load in ANSYS
The analysis report show (see Fig- 3.3 and Fig- 3.4) that the
designed model is withstands the 30KN vehicle load at 65
km/hr at 20 degree angle of impact and more stress is
created at the bottom of the barrier.
3.5 Cost Analysis
The cost comparison analysis of Flexible PVC Barrier and
RCC Barrier is given below.
3.5.1 Cost for RCC Barrier
Current market price for RCC Median divider block (per
piece) = Rs. 3900.00
3.5.2 Calculation for Cost of Flexible PVC Barrier
(i) Volume of Frustum of Cone (V) = [πh/12]*[d²+Dd+D²]
(h= height of cone, D= bottom diameter, d= top
diameter)
Volume of top cone (v1)
(v1) = [π0.86/12]*[0.1²+ (0.1*0.13) +0.13²]
= 0.225 * 0.0399
(v1) = 0.00898 m³.
Volume of bottom cone (v2)
(v2) = [π0.04/12]*[0.13²+ (0.13*0.18) + 0.18²]
= 0.0105 * 0.0727
(v2) = 0.000763 m³
Total Volume (V) = v1 + v2
= 0.00898 + 0.0007634
Total Volume (V) = 0.009743 m³
(ii) Density = 1300 kg/m³
(iii) Weight per Piece (W) = volume * density
= 0.009743 * 1300
Weight per Piece (W) = 12.7 kg
Current market price for Flexible PVC material (including
Manufacturing cost for production of 1 lakh piece) (per kg)
= Rs. 150 (approx.)
(iv) Cost for 1 piece = W * (cost of 1kg)
= 12.7 * 150
Cost for 1 piece = Rs. 1905.00
When compared to the cost of RCC Barrier the Flexible
PVC Barrier cost is less. And we can purchase 2 Flexible
PVC barriers at cost of buying a single RCC Barrier. And
also Flexible PVC barrier has the advantage of reducing
effect of during barrier collision accident.
4. CONCLUSIONS
The increase in accident scenario needs appropriate
solutions to reduce the effect of accidents. In view of the
above, the existing barrier performances are analyzed and to
overcome the problems in existing barrier, a new Flexible
Barrier system is introduced. The properties and analysis
report of the Flexible PVC Barrier ensure that installation of
this barrier in the accident prone zones will reduce the
barrier collision accidents and its effects.

Devising a new technique to reduce highway barrier accidents

  • 1. IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Volume: 03 Special Issue: 07 | May-2014, Available @ http://www.ijret.org 773 DEVISING A NEW TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE HIGHWAY BARRIER ACCIDENTS G.Udayakumar1 , S.Chandralekha2 1 PG Scholar, M.E., Industrial Safety Engineering, K.S.Rangasamy College of Technology, Tamilnadu, India 2 Assistant Professor, Dept. of Mechatronics Engineering, K.S.Rangasamy College of Technology, Tamilnadu, India Abstract In transportation sector, the roadway transportation rank high in travel and also in reportable accidents. Nowadays, there are various changes in road network and infrastructure developments done in our country. But according to the statistical report “Road Accident in India 2012” released by the Government of India, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) the reportable accidents, injury and fatality rates were in increasing order for the past decade up to 2011 and there is only a slight decline in the year 2012. When compared with other States and Union Territories, Tamilnadu tops two in road accidents and fatalities. In these accidents a considerable amount of accidents are due to vehicle-divider and vehicle-barrier collisions. This paper suggests and devises flexible median divider using suitable polymer material, so as to reduce the risk level during median divider accidents. Keywords: Flexible Barrier, Impact attenuator, Median divider accident, Risk reduction --------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION Road accidents are a human tragedy, which involve high human suffering. They impose a huge socio-economic cost in terms of untimely deaths, injuries and loss of potential income. The ramifications of road accidents can be colossal and its negative impact is felt not only on individuals, their health and welfare, but also on the economy. Consequently, road safety has become an issue of national concern. 1.1 Road Accident in India In India, the expansion in the road network, surge in motorization and a rising population of a country contribute towards increasing numbers of road accidents, road accident injuries and road accident fatalities. Between 1970 and 2012, the number of road accidents increased by 4.3 times accompanied with 9.5 times increase in road accidents fatalities and 7.3 times increase in the number of persons injured in road accidents in India. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of number of road accidents and persons injured in road accidents in the country during the decade 2002 to 2012 has decreased at 1.9 percent and 2.2 percent respectively as compared to earlier decade i.e. 1992 to 2002, when the same was reported at 4.0 percent and 4.3 percent respectively. However, in case of road accident fatalities, the CAGR at 5.0 percent showing increase during the decade (2002 to 2012) over the decade (1992 to 2002), when the same was at 0.6 percent. 1.2 Road Traffic Collisions Road traffic collisions generally fall into one of four common types:  Lane departure crashes, which occur when a driver leaves the lane they are in and collide with another vehicle or a roadside object. These include head on collisions and run-off-road collisions.  Collisions at junctions include rear-end collision and angle or side impacts.  Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists  Collisions with animals Although other types of collision do occur. Rollovers are not very common, but lead to greater rates of severe injury and death. Some of these are secondary events that occur after a collision with a run-off-road crash or a collision with another vehicle. 1.3 Causes of Road Accidents The high socio-economic cost of the injuries and fatalities, occurring due to road accidents, and the need for effective policies for curbing road accidents make it imperative to study the causes of road accidents. The various major causes of Road Accidents are listed below.  Fault of Driver  Fault of Cyclist  Fault of Pedestrian  Defect in Condition of Motor Vehicle  Defect in Road Condition  Weather Condition  Fault of Driver of other vehicle  Fault of Passenger  Poor Light Condition  Other Causes 1.4 Traffic Barriers Traffic barriers, sometimes called crash barriers keeps the vehicles within their roadway and prevent vehicles from colliding with dangerous obstacles such as boulders,

Traffic barriers are also installed at the road side to prevent errant vehicles from traversing steep (non-recoverable) slopes or entering deep water. Traffic barriers are installed within medians of divided highways to prevent errant vehicles from entering the opposing carriageway of traffic and help to reduce head- on collisions. Some of these barriers, designed to be struck from either side, are called median barriers. Crash barriers can also be used to protect vulnerable areas like school yards, pedestrian zones or fuel tanks from errant vehicles. The barriers are designed to minimize injury to vehicle driver and the persons occupying the vehicle, injuries do occur in collisions with traffic barriers. The traffic barriers categorized by function they serve are  Roadside barrier  Median barrier  Bridge barrier  Work zone barrier The traffic barriers categorized by how much they deflect when a vehicle crash into them are  Flexible barrier  Semi-Rigid barrier  Rigid barrier 1.5 4E’s of Road Safety The Government has adopted a multi pronged strategy to address the issue of road safety based on 4 E’s of Road Safety viz. 1. Education 2. Enforcement 3. Engineering 4. Environment and Emergency care. The scope of the project is to reduce the road accidents and it’s severity of the accidents happened by the collision between vehicle and barrier/divider by applying the 4 E’s concept of Road Safety and particularly applying Engineering concept. 1.5.1 Traffic Calming Traffic Calming is a set of engineering measures to reduce speeds and volumes of motor vehicle traffic in local areas. The technique has been successfully used in developed countries and hold promise for the developing countries also. Some of the measures include:  Speed breakers or humps  Rumble strips  Crash cushions  Road narrowing  Separate cycle tracks 1.5.2 Traffic Impact Attenuators On modern highways like the Expressways and busy National Highways where vehicles travel at high speeds, collision of speeding vehicles with fixed objects (like bridge abutments and structural columns etc.) is a common type of road accidents. The exit gore area in interchanges (i.e., the area downstream from the shoulder intersection point of the main carriageway and an exit road) is common area where serious accidents are known to take place. Traffic Impact Attenuators or Crash Cushions are protective systems which prevent errant vehicles from impacting hazard by either smoothly decelerating the vehicle to a stop when hit head- on, or by redirecting it away from the hazard for glancing impacts. These barriers are used to shield rigid objects or hazardous conditions that cannot be removed, relocated or made break way. The main design considerations for attenuators as per Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Planning & Engineering Centre (UTTIPEC) released by Delhi Development Authority are  For Normal containment zone the attenuators should be designed to provide the 15 KN vehicle at 110 km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact  For Low containment zone the attenuators should be designed to provide the 15 KN vehicle at 80 km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact  For High containment zone the attenuators should be designed to provide the 30 KN vehicle at 60 km/hr and 20 degree angle of impact There are many types of traffic impact attenuators in use in developed countries but the ones most relevant to Indian Conditions are: 1. Empty Steel Drum Assembly 2. Hi-Dro Cell cluster and 3. Cushions of scrap tyres 1.6 ANSYS Software ANSYS is an engineering simulation software (Computer- Aided Engineering or CAE). It offers engineering simulation sets in engineering simulation that a design process requires. Companies in a wide variety of industries use ANSYS software. The tools put a virtual product through a rigorous testing procedure (such as crashing a car into a brick wall, or running for several years on tarmac road) before it becomes a physical object. 2.

Fig -3.1: Arrangement of Flexible Barriers  Fixing the FLEXIBLE BARRIER in Zigzag manner in front of the Jersey Barrier (Fig- 3.1)  Constructing the small Speed Breakers (Rumble Strips) over the Restricted Path (White Marking) made in front of the Flexible Barrier (Fig- 3.1) The Rumble strip arrangement is made to reduce the speed of the vehicle and also to alert driver about the hazard. The Zigzag arrangement of the flexible barrier will be suitable for both 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler accidents. When 2- wheeler hits the barrier it will get in between the gap provided in the barrier arrangement. And when 4-wheeler hits the barrier then the barrier will get flexed and accident effect will be reduced. 3.3 Analyzing the Property of Material to be used for New Barrier Flexible PVC is a Flexible Plastic Material. It is manufactured from Anti-Ageing customized plastic compound with PVC as a base polymer and Exhibiting required properties like  High Elasticity Strength,  High Tensile Strength,  Can bear shocks of heavy turbines,  Excellent weather resistant,  Unaffected by acids, alkalis, metals salts and other chemicals,  Lower water absorption,  Immune to Corrosion,  Withstand high Hydrostatic pressure, Earth quakes, Floods etc… Table -3.1: Physical and Mechanical Properties of Flexible PVC PROPERTY TEST *ASTM VALUE Water absorption *D570 0.02 Tear Resistance *D624 225 lb./in. Ultimate Elongation *D638 360% Tensile Strength *D638 2000 psi min.(1379 N/cm2 ) Low Temperature Brittleness *D746 Passed @ -35°F/-37°C Stiffness in Flexure *D747 700 psi min.(483 N/cm2 ) Specific Gravity *D792 1.40 Hardness Shore A15 *D2240 79±3 Accelerated extraction • Tensile strength • Elongation Effect of Alkali • Weight change • Hardness Change CRD-C 572 1850psi (1276 N/cm2 ) 360% +0.10% +1 point The physical and mechanical properties of the Flexible PVC shows (see Table 3.1) that it is good in Tensile strength, Ultimate elongation, Flexural strength and also passed in Low temperature test etc.. So, it shows that this material will be suitable for the new flexible barrier. 3.4 Design and Analysis of Flexible Barrier The size and shape of the Flexible barrier is designed after analyzing the vehicle properties and previous type of barriers and its performances.

The model is tested with the specifications mentioned in the “Guidelines and Specifications for Crash Barriers, Pedestrians Railings and Dividers” released by Delhi Development Authority, Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Planning & Engineering Centre (UTTIPEC). Fig -3.3: Displacement of Flexible Barrier when applying load Fig -3.4: Nodal solution Flexible Barrier when applying load in ANSYS The analysis report show (see Fig- 3.3 and Fig- 3.4) that the designed model is withstands the 30KN vehicle load at 65 km/hr at 20 degree angle of impact and more stress is created at the bottom of the barrier. 3.5 Cost Analysis The cost comparison analysis of Flexible PVC Barrier and RCC Barrier is given below. 3.5.1 Cost for RCC Barrier Current market price for RCC Median divider block (per piece) = Rs. 3900.00 3.5.2 Calculation for Cost of Flexible PVC Barrier (i) Volume of Frustum of Cone (V) = [πh/12]*[d²+Dd+D²] (h= height of cone, D= bottom diameter, d= top diameter) Volume of top cone (v1) (v1) = [π0.86/12]*[0.1²+ (0.1*0.13) +0.13²] = 0.225 * 0.0399 (v1) = 0.00898 m³. Volume of bottom cone (v2) (v2) = [π0.04/12]*[0.13²+ (0.13*0.18) + 0.18²] = 0.0105 * 0.0727 (v2) = 0.000763 m³ Total Volume (V) = v1 + v2 = 0.00898 + 0.0007634 Total Volume (V) = 0.009743 m³ (ii) Density = 1300 kg/m³ (iii) Weight per Piece (W) = volume * density = 0.009743 * 1300 Weight per Piece (W) = 12.7 kg Current market price for Flexible PVC material (including Manufacturing cost for production of 1 lakh piece) (per kg) = Rs. 150 (approx.) (iv) Cost for 1 piece = W * (cost of 1kg) = 12.7 * 150 Cost for 1 piece = Rs. 1905.00 When compared to the cost of RCC Barrier the Flexible PVC Barrier cost is less. And we can purchase 2 Flexible PVC barriers at cost of buying a single RCC Barrier. And also Flexible PVC barrier has the advantage of reducing effect of during barrier collision accident. 4. CONCLUSIONS The increase in accident scenario needs appropriate solutions to reduce the effect of accidents. In view of the above, the existing barrier performances are analyzed and to overcome the problems in existing barrier, a new Flexible Barrier system is introduced. The properties and analysis report of the Flexible PVC Barrier ensure that installation of this barrier in the accident prone zones will reduce the barrier collision accidents and its effects.
