Rare crash test showcases strength of MwRSF-developed roadside barrier
The roadside barrier developed by University of Nebraska–Lincoln researchers holds firm as a fully-loaded tractor-tanker vehicle slams into it during a Dec. 8 test.
Researchers from the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility conducted a rare-but-successful tractor-tanker crash Dec. 8 to test the performance of a newly designed and significantly shorter concrete roadside barrier when it is contacted by a tractor-tanker truck weighing 40 tons and traveling 50 mph.
