EN 1317-3:2010 (E) 5 Introduction Based on safety considerations, the design of roads may require the installation of crash cushions at certain locations. These are designed to reduce the severity of vehicle impact with a more resistive object. The standard specifies the levels of performance, required of crash cushions, for the restraint and/or redirection of impacting vehicles. The impact severity of vehicles in collision with crash cushions is rated by the indices Theoretical Head Impact Velocity (THIV), and Acceleration Severity Index (ASI) (see EN 1317-1). The different performance levels will enable national and local authorities to specify the performance class of crash cushions.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the acceptance of a crash cushion will require the successful completion of a series of vehicle impact tests (see Tables 1, 2, 3, etc.) as well as compliance with the full standard. SIST EN 1317-3:2010

The crash cushion head is defined by the manufacturer and accepted by the test house performing the test.
NOTE 2 If no agreement is reached between the manufacturer and the test house regarding the definition of the crash cushion head, the test can be performed according to the manufacturer's definition and a note should be added to the test report outlining the diverging points of view.

EN 1317-3:2010 (E) 10 5.5 Impact severity Vehicle occupant impact severity shall be assessed by the indices ASI and THIV as given in EN 1317-1:2010. The severity levels shall be determined as shown in Table 3 as a function of the values of the ASI and THIV indices. Impact severity level A affords a greater level of safety for the occupants of an errant vehicle than level B and is preferred. The highest impact severity level from a series of tests shall denote the severity level of the crash cushion family. Table 3 — Vehicle impact severity values Impact severity levels Index values A ASI ≤ 1,0 and THIV ≤ 44 km/h in tests 1,2 and 3 THIV ≤ 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5 B 1,0 < ASI ≤ 1,4 THIV ≤ 44 km/h in tests 1,2 and 3 THIV ≤ 33 km/h in tests 4 and 5 NOTE The limit value for THIV is higher in tests 1, 2 and 3 because experience has shown that higher values can be tolerated in frontal impacts (also because of better passive safety in this direction). Such a difference in tolerance between frontal and lateral impacts is already considered in the ASI parameter, which therefore does not need to be changed.
5.6 Families of crash cushions A family of crash cushion models shall be derived from a single parent crash cushion once the latter has been successfully tested to this standard.
A reduced matrix of tests shall be completed for the other family members in accordance with Tables 4 to 9. The models in the family cover a range of performance classes, width and taper angles.
Provided that the models in the family: a) are assembled from the same set of components; b) have the same product name; c) have the same working mechanism for the system and for the components, the family, specified by the drawings of all the models, can be tested as a single product with multiple performance levels. If the tests specified by the family test matrix are passed, the crash cushion is accepted as a multiple performance product, i.e. each model is accepted in the relevant performance class. All the cushions in the family shall be of the same type, i.e. all redirective or all non-redirective. If the parent crash cushion has the minimum taper angle/width and belongs to the highest performance class, the test matrix is the one shown in Table 4, 5, 6 or 7, depending on the highest velocity of the family.
