Abstract
Abstract Horizontal curves are one of the elements of road infrastructure where statistically a relatively high number of accidents have been reported. In the last 10 years in Poland, approximately 10% of all road accidents happened on horizontal curves of roads and was responsible for approximately 14% of all fatalities on Polish roads. Thus, this issue is important and requires extensive research and proper road safety treatments. One possible measure that may contribute to improvement of safety on road curves may be barriers. The purpose of this work is to assess, with use of numerical simulations, the performance of the 4-cable barrier systems installed on horizontal road convex curves. The most important parameters for road safety barriers are presented including the effect of various impact velocities and the radiuses of the road curves.
