It is possible to set up the Roadside Barrier which is suitable for Performance Evaluation Criteria by domestic standard. But a number of section of expressway roadside have old guardrail that was installed before reform the guideline. These poor performance guardrails threaten driver's life. There is lots of difficult problem to change old guardrails that are installed 2,777km in expressway of whole road side at the same time. Especially budget problem. The purpose of study is to develop performance improvement guardrails by the minimum reinforcement. In this study, guardrail improvement method(SB1, 3, 5 grade) is developed through crash simulation using LS-DYNA 3D and vehicle crash test. And it's expected not only to decrease of collision accident but to increase safe level. Of course one thing that can't be missing is to reduce a lot of budget of guardrail change.

As the world's industrial development quickens, the highways and regional expressways have been expanding to serve the logistics and transportation needs of people. The burgeoning road construction has led to a growing interest in roadside installations. These must have reliable performance over long periods, reduced maintenance and high durability. Steel roadside barriers are prone to corrosion and other compromises to their functionality. Therefore, using high anti-corrosion steel material is now seen as a viable solution to this problem. Thus, the objective of this paper is to expand the scope of applications for high anti-corrosion steel material for roadside barriers. This paper assesses the impact safety such as structural performance, occupant protection performance and post-impact vehicular response performance by a simulation review on roadside barriers built with high strength anti-corrosion steel materials named as hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steel. The simulation test results for the roadside barriers built with high strength anti-corrosion steels with reduced sectional thickness meet the safety evaluation criteria, hence the proposed roadside barrier made by high strength and high anti-corrosion hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steel will be a good solution to serve safe impact performance as well as save maintenance cost.
