On the recommendation of the Federal Highway Administration the New Jersey Department of Transportation selected the 'Breakaway Cable Terminal' (BCT) for use as a guiderail end treatment in 1976. The selected design included 6 in. x 8 in. wood posts, an unstiffened buffer end, a bossed bearing plate and a one-piece anchor plate. The objective of this study was an evaluation of the in-service performance of BCTs. Thirteen impacts between vehicles and BCTs were evaluated for accident performance. The results of the in-service evaluation were compared with the fuel scale crash tests previously conducted by the Southwest Research Institute.
