【 摘 要 】

A comprehensive overview of passively safe roadside columns, with an emphasis on materials they are made of and energy absorption properties, is presented in the paper. Levels of passive safety of columns with respect to safety of vehicle occupants are considered. The behaviour of passively safe roadside columns in impact with vehicles is analyzed with respect to their energy absorption possibilities, failure modes and safety of vehicle occupants. Advantages and deficiencies of the use of passively safe columns, as compared to traditional rigid columns that are today most often used alongside roadways, are presented in full detail.
