The difference between steel and concrete barriers are presented. The results are based on mathematical simulations with the computer-model VEDYAC (VEhicle DYnamics And Crash dynamics). A comparison with the results of full scale tests is given. In order of the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Public Works, SWOV has developed a crash cushion, the so called RIMOB. Since 1982 several hundred RIMOBS have been installed in the Netherlands; many are involved in an accident. An evaluation study is carried out and the results are presented.
