Queensland University of Technology (QUT) received funding for 11 projects in the recent round of ARC Linkage grants. One of these projects, with a budget of $216 000 over three years, aims to develop a new generation of energy absorbing road barriers designed to reduce the fatal impact of high-speed crashes. The work is being carried out in the QUT Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering, under the leadership of Dr Prasad Gudimetla. The aim is to develop a new generation of high energy-absorbing road safety barrier that are less rigid than current installations, using a combination of composite materials to provide better protection for all road users.
