In 2012/2013 Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) carried out an inventory gathering and condition assessment of Vehicle Restraint Systems (VRS) on the Local Authority-managed national road network. This exercise identified various locations where existing VRS were damaged, out of tolerance, or obsolete, and that interventions or upgrading works were required.Â
In 2014, TII appointed RPS to provide consultancy services to carry out risk assessments, design the intervention/repair/ upgrade work, and other related duties.

But usually there is not enough space or there are physical constraints which prevent a solution which is compliant with standards to be achieved. Deciding and detailing a compromised solution which achieves the best road safety benefits in such situations presents a huge challenge for all involved.
