With more than 20 years of experience in highway hardware testing, Applus+ IDIADA has established itself as a global leader in MASH and EN 1317 compliance evaluations. Our comprehensive highway hardware testing program encompasses both MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) requirements for North American markets and EN 1317 standards for European certification.
As an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory and active participant in Task Force 13 Subcommittee 7, we ensure thorough compliance with international testing protocols.
Our specialized highway safety testing facility, located just 90 miles (ca. 145km) from Los Angeles in Adelanto, California, features optimal conditions for year-round MASH and EN 1317 testing programs. With seven dedicated testing sites, we efficiently manage multiple highway hardware evaluations simultaneously, delivering expedited results without compromising accuracy.
Our highway hardware testing facility incorporates state-of-the-art technology, including high-speed cameras, advanced data acquisition systems, and specialized test vehicles. This equipment not only ensures precise data collection for testing but also enables sophisticated simulation correlation analysis. Our simulation correlation process combines physical testing data with advanced computational models, allowing us to:
At Applus+ IDIADA, we understand that accurate simulation correlation is crucial for efficient highway hardware development. Our engineering team employs advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and sophisticated modelling techniques to create detailed digital representations of physical tests. This dual approach of virtual and physical testing enables:
We have successfully conducted highway hardware testing for manufacturers worldwide, establishing ourselves as a trusted partner in MASH and EN 1317 compliance. Our comprehensive expertise enables us to provide end-to-end testing solutions that help clients navigate certification requirements efficiently.
