Assessment on the Potential Use of Roller Road Barrier at Megadike East Access Road in San Fernando, Pampanga

Description

This study highlights the unpredictable nature of road accidents and the global challenge of reducing their occurrence. Despite disciplined driving, accidents can still happen, particularly in accident-prone areas. The proposed solution is Roller Road Barriers, especially effective on elevated roadways, as they absorb impact energy, convert it to rotational energy, and redirect traffic, preventing vehicles from crashing through immovable barriers. The study, conducted in Megadike Access Road in San Fernando, Pampanga, and with information from Negros Occidental, tests the effectiveness of these barriers. The research includes vehicle classification, driver interviews, and a miniature model demonstration. The implementation of Roller Road Barriers is suggested as a measure to decrease road accidents and enhance safety in the specified areas for drivers, commuters, and the community.
