Abstract

Road safety barriers are a basic element of the road infrastructure aimed at improving the safety of road users. Design parameters and indications for assembly are strictly regulated by the GDDKiA (General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways) guidelines in accordance with the European standards. In Poland, the most commonly used barriers are thin-walled metal sheet barriers, rope barriers, and concrete ones. The types differ in terms of technical parameters and level of security they provide. One of the purposes of installing road safety barriers is to protect road users from hitting an obstacle in the vicinity of the road, and to protect people around the accident from the effects of an uncontrolled vehicle leaving the road. The effects of a collision caused by hitting a protective road barrier depend mainly on the type of the barrier and the vehicle. The authors made a detailed and interdisciplinary analysis of data on accidents resulting from hitting a road safety barrier, comparing them with information available in the literature, combining the technical aspects of the use of barriers with a medical description of the description of typical injuries.

道路安全屏障与道路使用者的安全-波兰局势分析

道路安全屏障是道路基础设施的基本组成部分，旨在改善道路使用者的安全。设计参数和装配指示严格按照欧洲标准由GDDKiA(国家道路和高速公路总局)指导方针规定。在波兰，最常用的屏障是薄壁金属板屏障、绳索屏障和混凝土屏障。这些类型在技术参数和提供的安全级别方面有所不同。安装道路安全屏障的目的之一是保护道路使用者不致撞上道路附近的障碍物，以及保护事故周围的人免受失控车辆驶离道路的影响。撞击保护性道路屏障造成的碰撞影响主要取决于屏障和车辆的类型。提交人对撞到道路安全屏障造成事故的数据进行了详细和跨学科的分析，将这些数据与文献中提供的信息进行比较，并将使用屏障的技术方面与典型伤害的医学描述结合起来。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
