Abstract

A Vehicle Security Barrier (VSB) is a physical security device that provides perimeter protection to a defined area and can also control vehicular access to that area. A VSB is used to mitigate various styles of criminal or terrorist vehicle-borne threat. This leaflet describes the main reasons behind the need to deploy a VSB, demonstrates how best to integrate them into the streetscape and outlines: * Styles of vehicle-borne attack; * Available VSB technologies; * Selection and application of VSB technologies; * Integration of VSB elements into the streetscape; * Asset management issues; * Safety audit considerations; * Anti-Terrorism Traffic Regulation Orders; and * Sources of further information and more detailed advice.
