    Applus+ IDIADA developed an integral service for the evolution of roadside elements that enhance safety in the event of an accident and comply with the requirements detailed in the following European and national standards: EN 1317-1, 1317-2 (European standards for the testing of road-safety systems. Apply to road barriers, bridge fences and energy absorbers. The energy-absorption and vehicle re-conducting capabilities are evaluated); UNE 135900 (Spanish standard for the evaluation of motorcyclist protection systems, for installation in vehicle-restraint barriers. Continuous and punctual systems are considered. Generally, the protection system is attached to the vehicle barrier, which is installed in normal working conditions. The system has to re-conduct the dummy and minimise the forces produced in the neck); EN 12767 (European standard relating to urban and road furniture. Post-crash velocity and vehicle behaviour are evaluated).

    Applus IDIADA is working in several projects where the research is focused in the application of advanced communication systems, new materials and new profiles to maximize the performance and protection of the roadside elements in case of accident
