Fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are being used to develop products for use as highway appurtenances, such as sign supports, luminaire supports and guardrails, crash barriers. These structures, that are located alongside highways and roads, are subjected to vehicular impacts and must be designed to be crashworthy to ensure the safety of the driving public. Reviewed is an ongoing 10-year research and development program funded by the United States federal highway administration and the United States department of transportation to produce a crashworthy composite material highway guardrail system. An overview of the research and development leading to a patented pultruded composite material guardrail is provided.
