Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF)
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Dr. Sicking became the Director of the Midwest Roadside Safety
Facility and assistant professor of civil engineering at UNL
in 1992. Dr. Sicking's wide range of experience in highway
safety research was developed at the Texas Transportation
Institute. While at TTI, Dr. Sicking developed numerous roadside
safety devices including permanent and temporary longitudinal
barriers, barrier end treatments, crash cushions, safety treatments
for roadside drainage structures, and breakaway support systems.
Many of Dr. Sicking's designs, such as the ET-2000 and the
Low Maintenance GREAT, have gained widespread acceptance across
the entire country. Dr. Sicking's national prominence is also
demonstrated through contributions to the new crash test standards
as a co-author of the update to NCHRP Report 230.
