Conference Focus: Roadside Barriers
Drew Bolzer with the Lancaster County Sheriff's and his team will be hosting the 2015 MATAI conference to be held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska.

MATAI and the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility, (MwRSF), part of the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, will partner for our 2015 conference with a focus on roadside barriers. A live, fully instrumented, longitudinal crash test into a barrier will be conducted by MwRSF at their facility. Presentations related to crash investigation involving roadside barriers will round out the conference agenda. The Midwest Roadside Safety Facility has developed numerous crashworthy safety features that have been adopted nationwide, including the SAFER (Steel And Foam Energy Reduction) Barrier, for use on high-speed NASCAR and Indy Car oval race tracks.

ACTAR Examination: Before the Conference on Sunday, May 17 at the Embassy Suites Hotel.
