Road Blocker Crash Testing Simulation
Budget: $250 – $300 USD
Road Blocker Crash Testing Simulation – Project Summary
1. Project Overview
This project simulates a road blocker to evaluate its structural performance when impacted by a vehicle. The goal is to simulate how the blocker will deform, absorb energy, and stop the vehicle before physical testing.
The simulation uses nonlinear explicit dynamic analysis, which is suitable for high-speed crash events, large deformations, and nonlinear material behavior. The results will help ensure the product meets ASTM F2656-20 standard, M50/P1 rating.
Important: The project is confidential. Sharing any design details is strictly prohibited.

5. Simulation Objective
The simulation aims to determine if the road blocker can withstand the impact of a 7.5-ton vehicle traveling at 50 mph (80 km/h). The analysis will show:
• How the blocker bends or deforms under the impact
• Whether the connector pins hold under the load
• How energy is absorbed during the collision
• How the vehicle slows down after hitting the blocker
The results will help assess whether the following:
1- If blocker can effectively stop the vehicle and meet the ASTM F2656-20 M50/P1 rating, which defines the performance of vehicle security barriers against high-momentum vehicle impacts.
2- If blocker can still continue to function after the hit or not.
3- We will be taking multiple opinions for the accuracy of results to ensure the findings are reliable.
4- In case of design needs improvement to sustain crash impact, the winner will need to retest or re run the simulation after make design enhancements until design is successful.

6. Key Results
The simulation will provide:
• Stopping distance: How far the vehicle moves before it fully stops.
• Barrier deformation: Permanent displacement, bending, or crushing of the blocker.
• Forces and accelerations: Peak loads experienced by the barrier and vehicle.
• Energy absorption: Total kinetic energy absorbed by the barrier.
• Complete crash test animation: A full visual simulation showing the impact, deformation, and stopping of the vehicle.
These results will help verify whether the blocker meets the M50/P1 safety standard.
