The 2866 European Union Road Federation (ERF) has extended the deadline for submission of abstracts for the 2014 edition of the AFB20(2) Roadside Safety Design Conference until 30 June 2014.

The Conference on 5 November 2014 at the CEN headquarters in Brussels, Belgium will be the perfect opportunity for road safety experts around the globe to gather and exchange information concerning the latest trends and developments in the area of passive safety and road safety design.

Abstracts should be a maximum two pages and be of technical relevance and interest. No commercial paper or advertising is allowed. The abstracts will be revised by a technical committee made up of Marco ANGHILERI (IT); Ali ATAHAN (TK); Jean BLOCH (FR); Claudi COFANO (BE); Jan DROEGE (DE); Raphael GRZEBIETA (AU); Joseph MARRA (BE); Rod TROUTBECK (AU); and Gavin WILLIAMS (UK).

Topics for Presentations are: EN 1317 – Implementation and Application Issues (e.g. EN 1317 updates, the implications of CE marking and its effects, use of simulations, EN 1317 and real-life issues, installation/maintenance of VRS, local authority controls for RRS)

Innovation for road side safety (e.g. roadside design, developing a safer road, geometric and alignment of roads, longitudinal barriers developments, crash cushion developments, crashworthy terminals developments, transition developments, energy absorbing poles developments, high friction technology developments, rumble strip developments, safety edge developments, pedestrian parapets)

Vulnerable Road Users and Road Safety Furniture / Work zone safety (e.g. motorcyclist and VRS, safer road design for VRU, TMA’s, positive protection for Work Zones)

    PERI says that with new VARIOKIT system components it is now possible to create a heavy-duty truss girder for bridge construction. A supplement to the VARIOKIT heavy-duty shoring tower launched at bauma 2010, PERI said that during the new truss girder solution’s development it took into account load-bearing capacity of the tower and the challenging requirements of daily construction work. The modular lattice system can be used for spans up to 40m and is said by PERI to have a very high-load bearing capacity
