RESEARCH EXPERIENCE Dr. Sicking was brought to UNL as Director of a fledgling research program, the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility, and was assigned the task of bringing the organization into national preeminence. Under Dr. Sicking=s direction, the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF) has become recognized both nationally and internationally as a leader in the development of safer roadside safety features. Many new roadside safety features have been developed under this program that have become standard designs in states across the country. During this process Dr. Sicking developed a small three-state, mid-west pooled fund program into a major source of funding for roadside safety research. The program now includes 11 states ranging from Montana to Connecticut. In 1994, Dr. Sicking was asked to lead an effort to win the FHWA Region 7 Transportation Center. In this role, he assembled a consortium of five universities and was lead author of the proposal that successfully captured funding for the Federal Region 7 Transportation Center and created the Mid-America Transportation Center. Dr. Sicking has also been a leader in the development of new safety features for private companies. As shown below, Dr. Sicking has been awarded 16 U.S. patents for roadside safety features. Based on these patents, 11 new roadside safety products are currently being marketed nationally with three of these sold globally. Almost every new guardrail terminal installed this year on the National Highway System is covered by one or more of Dr. Sicking=s patents. 3 PATENTS 1.

    News Release Burgoon, Borner, Cate, Rankin and Wagner Win 2017 Louis Schwitzer Award Award recognizes engineering excellence in Indianapolis 500 racing technology Innovative PFC carbon disc brake system reduces vibration and tire wear Auburn Hills, Michigan, May 19, 2017 – The 51st annual Louis Schwitzer Award has been presented to engineers Don Burgoon, James Borner, Darin Cate, Paul Rankin and Mark Wagner from PFC Brakes for the PFC carbon disc brake system. Featuring a patented mounting mechanism, the carbon disc and pad assembly provide a uniform matrix which reduces vibration and tire wear. Considered the founder and visionary for PFC brakes, Don Burgoon (1955 – 2015) received the award posthumously along with the rest of the team during a ceremony at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “The spirit of innovation drives progress. If you glance in the rearview mirror, you’ll see that past award winners have improved performance, efficiency and safety for generations of racecar drivers. The engineers we acknowledge today will take their place in history, inspiring new innovations in the future,” said James R. Verrier, President and Chief Executive Officer, BorgWarner. “We are proud to sponsor the Louis Schwitzer Award and congratulate the engineers who worked tirelessly to bring this technology to the racetrack.” The PFC carbon disc brake system consists of a carbon disc and pad assembly made from single continuously wound strands along with a patented mounting mechanism. The material and manufacturing process of the disc and pads provide a uniform matrix which reduces unwanted vibration and tire wear by improving the overall balance of the assembly. The disc is mounted to the hat with a novel, yet simple, retaining mechanism consisting of a double rolled ring and locating bobbins.

  • Borgwarner Louis Schwitzer Award
    KENT, WILES, MILLER AND O’CONNOR WIN 2012 BORGWARNER LOUIS SCHWITZER AWARD GM Returns to IndyCar with Powerful, Fuel Efficient Chevrolet IndyCar V6 Engine Auburn Hills, Michigan, May 21, 2012 – The 46th annual BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer Award has been presented to engineers Mark Kent and Matt Wiles from General Motors (GM) and Steve Miller and Steve O’Connor from Ilmor Engineering for the Chevrolet IndyCar V6 Engine. Designed for fuel efficiency, performance and low friction, the 2.2-liter twin-turbo engine has demonstrated superior fuel economy while posting four wins in the first four IZOD IndyCar® Series races of the 2012 season. GM’s first IndyCar engine since 2004 was built through a collaborative effort, uniting GM’s experience in E85 fuel and direct injection with Ilmor Engineering’s race engine design expertise. GM’s goal was to develop new technologies for a powerful fuel-efficient engine that could be transferred to production cars. To boost performance and throttle response, the engine uses twin turbochargers. The production-car based Hitachi fuel delivery system was enhanced with six high-pressure direct injectors in the heads and six lower-pressure injectors in the plenum. Operating at up to 12,000 RPM, this is the highest revving direct injection engine in racing competition today. Computer models and empirical testing led to a technology breakthrough in the placement of the injectors that could be utilized in production cars. Special coatings in the engine and exhaust system reduce friction and improve fuel economy. Compression ratios and piston shapes were also designed for optimal thermodynamics.

  • Harrigle and Schilling Win 2013 Borgwarner Louis Schwitzer Award
    HARRIGLE AND SCHILLING WIN 2013 BORGWARNER LOUIS SCHWITZER AWARD Auburn Hills, Michigan, May, 21, 2013 – The 47th annual BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer Award has been presented to engineers Dale Harrigle and Brett Schilling from Bridgestone Americas Motorsports for the Firestone Firehawk™ Indy 500 Race Tire. Designed to withstand the harsh environment of the IZOD IndyCar® Series, the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 Race Tire features improved compounds and construction designed to increase performance, improve endurance and continue a winning tradition. Firestone tires have been setting the pace at the Indianapolis 500 since Ray Harroun’s inaugural victory in 1911, when he drove the Marmon Wasp powered by Louis Schwitzer’s Yellow Jacket engine. As the Indianapolis 500’s exclusive tire supplier since 1995, the Firestone race tire team built on its experience, expertise and engineering excellence to develop race tires that provide great grip, durability and racing excitement. The Firehawk Indy 500 Race Tire features a high-grip tread compound created with Firestone’s propriety additives and raw rubber. The belts are composed of a proprietary aramid synthetic fiber, with steel used only in the beads. Firestone’s engineers employed proven modeling methods to calculate forces and moments, and perform steady-state modeling. Within only six months, the race tire team developed and tested the tires on the race track. Presented by engineers to engineers, the BorgWarner Louis Schwitzer Award recognizes individuals for innovation and engineering excellence in race car design associated with the annual Indianapolis 500. The winners are honored at an awards banquet, and their names are immortalized on the Schwitzer trophy on permanent display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame Museum.
