Case Study on Rolling Barrier on Pune- Mumbai Highway

Abstract: In India, the transportation industry has grown quickly, especially since the turn of the century. To connect diverse cities and towns, the Indian government is pouring enormous sums of money into the infrastructure and transportation sectors. This paper highlights on the need for cost effective road safety investments using 'rolling barrier' systems which can redirect the deviated automobiles onto the right path and also prevent the overturning of vehicles. Road accidents are a result of the interaction of many factors, including the length of road networks, the number of vehicles, the population's adherence to and enforcement of traffic laws, etc. This study intends to assess the rolling barrier's efficiency and comprehend its crash cushioning properties, as well as how to rectify the vehicles' running direction and the necessary barrier strength. The Rolling Barrier satisfied the ministry of construction and transportations, “Guidelines for Installation and management of road safety facilities”. Curved road portions, ramps, medians, and entrance or departure ramps in parking garages can all be safely protected by the Rolling Barrier.
