The factors presented in Table 3 show the diminishing increase in barrier defl ection as barrier length increases. The extent of the
increased defl ection presented is signifi cant and must be taken into account when selecting and locating a cable barrier system.
The factors have been adopted from a paper written by Alberson, Bligh, Buth and Bullard (January 2003) presented to the
Transportation Research Board in Washington D.C.
