Engineering Research offers you simulation based design of your road side safety products.

Finite Element (FE) simulations are used to find a design with optimal performance, which in turn can deliver savings in product risks, cost and time spent on prototype testing.

Crash simulation can be applied to all types of roadside products, e.g. guardrails, bridge parapets and lighting columns.

Engineering Research has been using FE simulations in the design of road side safety products since 1994, and we were pioneers in using FE simulation of the EN1317 tests 1996.

We have since then been involved in the design of more than 70 different roadside safety products in cooperation with most Nordic developers.
