  2. Temporary Crash Cushions What is a crash cushion? Crash cushions are protective systems that prevent errant vehicles from impacting obstacles by either smoothly decelerating the vehicle to a stop when it hits head-on or by redirecting the vehicle away from the obstacle in glancing impacts. Two types of crash cushions are used in work zones: stationary and mobile, the latter of which are commonly called truck- or trailer-mounted attenuators (TMAs). Referenced: AASHTO RSDG 2004

  3. Temporary Crash Cushions Crash Cushions • Temporary/Permanent • Attached to rigid barriers • Median Barriers • Roadside Barriers • Bridge Railing • Used in either median or roadside application

  4. Temporary Crash Cushions Test Vehicles NCHRP (National Cooperative Highway Research Program) 350: 820C and 2000P MASH (Manual On Assessing Safety Hardware): 1100C and 2270P Includes Passenger Cars Of All Sizes, Sport/Utility Vehicles, Mini-Vans, Vans and Pick-up Trucks TL-2 tested at 70 km/h (44 mph) TL-3 tested at 100 km/h (62 mph) NCHRP 350 = 820C (1800 lb.) Passenger Car @ 20 deg. MASH = 1100C (2420 lb.) @ 25 deg. NCHRP 350 = 2000P (4400 lb.) Pickup Truck @ 25 deg. MASH = 2270P (5000 lb.) @ 25 deg.

  5. Temporary Crash Cushions What TEST LEVEL is used for a 70 mph facility? FHWA Criteria • Crash Cushions meet NCHRP 350/ MASH - Test Level 3 (TL-3) • Cost Effectiveness • http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/roadway_dept/policy_guide/road_hardware/qa_bttabr.cfm#btcc2

  6. Temporary Crash Cushions FDOT Criteria • VENDOR DRAWINGS • TL-2 (45 mph or less) • TL-3 (50 mph or greater) • SPEEDS • Interpolating at 5 mph increments • Extrapolating for speeds above 60 mph is no longer allowed

  7. Temporary Crash Cushions FDOT Design Requirements • Station/Offset • Type of Crash Cushion (TL-2 or TL-3) • Speed • Width - Narrow vs. Wide • Length Restrictions • MOT Phase (Temporary)
