Barriers are an important safety feature on our
roads…
![Page 4: End Terminals - bbars.bg 02.09.15/03 Phil Bigley – Terminals… · A ASI 1,0 THIV < 44 km/h in tests 1 and 2 THIV < 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5 PHD 20 g B ASI 1,4 THIV < 44 km/h in](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042212/5eb63bb1007265117736375c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

But one part of the barrier can still create a potentially lethal hazard:

‘TURNED DOWN ENDS’
This is one way to terminate a barrier and is still widely used because of the relatively low
cost involved.
However, these can be very dangerous as they can act as a ramp for an impacting vehicle and restricted use of turned
down ends is becoming more common within EU countries.

In 1990 ‘turn down’ ends were banned from use on
high speed, frequent use roads in the United States.
In 1998 ‘turned down’ upstream ends were banned from use on any US national highway system road, regardless of speed or ADT.

THE SAFEST SOLUTION?
Shield the end of the barrier with a crash-friendly terminal
![Page 14: End Terminals - bbars.bg 02.09.15/03 Phil Bigley – Terminals… · A ASI 1,0 THIV < 44 km/h in tests 1 and 2 THIV < 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5 PHD 20 g B ASI 1,4 THIV < 44 km/h in](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042212/5eb63bb1007265117736375c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

So what is a P4 terminal? We need to take a look at the legislation to see how a terminal qualifies as a P4
Current European legislation for terminals:
ENV 1317-4

4 tests are required to meet the highest level (P4) ENV 1317- 4 criteria
![Page 19: End Terminals - bbars.bg 02.09.15/03 Phil Bigley – Terminals… · A ASI 1,0 THIV < 44 km/h in tests 1 and 2 THIV < 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5 PHD 20 g B ASI 1,4 THIV < 44 km/h in](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042212/5eb63bb1007265117736375c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Impact severity classes
Index values
A ASI ≤ 1,0 THIV < 44 km/h in tests 1 and 2 THIV < 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5
PHD ≤ 20 g
B ASI ≤ 1,4 THIV < 44 km/h in tests 1 and 2 THIV < 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5
PHD ≤ 20 g
NOTE 1 Impact severity class A affords a greater level of safety for the occupants of an errant vehicle than class B and is preferred when other considerations are the same. NOTE 2 The limit value for THIV is higher in tests 1 and 2 because experience has shown that higher values can be tolerated by occupants in frontal impacts (also because of better passive safety in this direction). Such a difference in human tolerance between frontal and lateral impacts is already considered in the ASI parameter, which therefore does not need to be changed.
Table 5 – Terminals: Vehicle Impact Severity Classes
Other factors measured and recorded in EN1317 testing are:
• Redirection zone class (Z rating from Z1 to Z4)
Measures the level of post-impact trajectory of the vehicle
• Displacement class (Class D1 to D4)
Measures the amount of permanent lateral displacement of the terminal, after impact

In Europe, countries that actively legislate and promote the use of P4 terminals include:
• UK
• Sweden
• Norway
• Austria
• Italy
• Belgium
• Denmark
• Finland
• Estonia
The benefits of taking a proactive approach to improving road safety is evident in the ERF European statistics
