PD CEN/TS 1317-8:2012CEN/TS 1317-8:2012 (E) 4 Introduction In order to improve safety, the design of roads may require the installation of road restraint systems, which are intended to contain and redirect err
25、ant vehicles safely for the benefit of the occupants and other road users, or pedestrian parapets designed to restrain and to guide pedestrians and other road users not using vehicles, on sections of road and at particular locations defined by the national or local authorities. EN 1317-2 contains pe
26、rformance classes, impact test acceptance criteria and test methods for barriers. Whereas EN 1317-2 covers the performance of these systems with respect to cars and heavy vehicles, this Technical Specification addresses the safety of the riders of powered two-wheeled vehicles impacting the barrier h
27、aving fallen from their vehicle. As powered two-wheeler riders may impact a barrier directly (in which case no protection is offered by the vehicle), special attention is given to these vulnerable road-users. In order to minimise the consequences to a rider of such an impact, it may be necessary to
28、fit a barrier with a specific PTW rider protection system. Alternatively, a barrier might specifically incorporate characteristics limiting the consequences of a PTW rider impact. Rider protection systems may be continuous (including barriers specifically designed with the safety of PTW riders in mi
29、nd) or discontinuous. A discontinuous system is one which offers rider protection in specific localised areas of a barrier judged to be of higher risk. The most common example of a discontinuous system is one fitted locally to the posts of a post and rail type guardrail - adding nothing between the
30、posts. The purpose of this Technical Specification is to define the terminology specific to it, to describe procedures for the initial type-testing of rider protection systems and to provide performance classes and acceptance criteria for them. Accident statistics from several European countries hav
31、e shown that riders are injured when impacting barriers either whilst still on their vehicles or having fallen and then sliding along the road surface. Whilst different statistical sources show one or the other of these configurations to be predominant, all known studies show both to constitute a ma
32、jor proportion of rider to barrier impact accidents. Some studies showing the sliding configuration to be predominant have led to the development and use of test procedures in some European countries, evaluating systems with respect to the sliding configuration. At the time of writing, a number of s
33、uch protection systems were already on the European market. It is for this reason that it was decided to address the issue of sliding riders initially, in order to bring about the adoption of a European Standard in as timely a manner as possible. However, the rider on vehicle configuration should al
34、so be considered as soon as possible as a subsequent addition. This Technical Specification shall be read in conjunction with EN 1317-1 and EN 1317-2. PD CEN/TS 1317-8:2012CEN/TS 1317-8:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies requirements for the impact performance of systems desig
35、ned for the reduction of impact severity for PTW riders impacting safety barriers whilst sliding along the ground, having fallen from their PTW vehicle. The protection systems concerned are those fitted to barriers or barriers that have an inherent PTW rider protection or risk reduction capability.
36、This Technical Specification excludes the assessment of the vehicle restraint capabilities of barriers and the risk that they represent to the occupants of impacting cars. The assessment of performance of impacting vehicles is covered by EN 1317-1 and EN 1317-2. This Technical Specification defines
37、performance classes taking into account rider speed classes, impact severity and the working width of the system with respect to rider impacts. For systems designed to be added to a standard barrier, the test results are valid only when the system is fitted to the model of barrier used in the tests
38、since the performance will not necessarily be the same if the system is fitted to a different barrier. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
