The cushions collapse upon impact and bring vehicles to rest. Department of Transportation Trans-portation traffic engineers were hoping todeter mine the effectiveness effective-ness of the cushions from the accident reports of the drivers who hit them. However, they found the amount of damage sustained sus-tained by many vehicles was small enough that many motorists simply elected to drive away and not report their accidents. We know the cushions are successful, but we don't know how successful, said Traffic Engineer Kenneth Adair. 'Without 'With-out the results of the damage and severity of these nonportable non-portable accidents, a realistic benefit-cost analysis can't be made," he said. However, Adair pointed out that if the drivers had experienced the accidents without the cushions, they might have been severly injured and their vehicles would have been too badly damaged to drive away. The Department of Tranportation Tranporta-tion has been experimenting with two types of crash cushions. One type, called "Texas Barrels," consists of a cluster of 55 gal-long gal-long steel drums bolted or welded weld-ed together and held in position by steel cables. The tops and bottoms of the barrels have portions por-tions cut out of them to reduce their rigidity and allow them to collapse at a somewhat controlled con-trolled rate upon impact.
