This report documents and presents the results of a study of the safety aspect of curb use. Full-scale tests in combination with computer simulations were applied to investigate vehicle behavior upon impact with a series of commonly used curbs. Three curb designs taken from the AASHO geometric design manual, and a special configuration 13-in. high, were given consideration in the study. The four curbs were investigated at three vehicle approach angles and at three speed levels. Such vehicle responses as redirection, trajectory, path, roll and pitch, and acceleration were observed and evaluated. The model results correlated well with the full-scale results. The findings of the study suggest that curbs of the configurations tested have no redirection capabilities to enhance safety in a high-speed travel environment.
