About

National Highways awarded a contract to FUTRAN JV for a combined project investigating the performance of safety barrier systems under non-EN1317 compliant impact conditions.

The project involved two main tasks: (1) testing safety barrier performance when impacted by vehicles not currently covered by the European testing standard EN 1317, including electric and hybrid vehicles, a Multi-purpose Utility Vehicle (MPV), a Medium Goods Vehicle (MGV), and a large saloon car; and (2) assessing the effect of degradation and impact damage on safety barrier performance using virtual testing (validated computer simulation) and a small number of full-scale impact tests to inform prioritisation of future maintenance and repair activities.

The contract value was £805,597.97.
