Parking & Traffic · Vehicle Control
Traffic & hostile vehicle management
Protect entrances, lobbies and crowded spaces from vehicle-borne threats and unauthorised entry with crash-rated road blockers, bollards and controlled vehicle checkpoints.
Why Vehicle Control matters for your facility
We assess vehicle approach routes and speeds, then select crash-tested products whose rating matches the threat. Hydraulic road blockers and rising bollards are controlled from the guard booth with interlocks, traffic lights and emergency fast operation, while fixed bollards protect façades without blocking pedestrians. Civil works, drainage and services are coordinated early because foundations are critical.
Vehicle Control key specifications
| Crash rating | Products tested to standards such as ASTM F2656, IWA 14-1 or PAS 68 |
|---|---|
| Products | Road blockers, rising and fixed bollards, tyre killers, crash gates |
| Drive | Hydraulic or electromechanical with emergency fast operation |
| Control | Guard-booth panels, interlocks and traffic lights |
Products tested to ASTM F2656, IWA 14-1 or PAS 68 and installed to MOI security guidance for high-risk sites where applicable.

Vehicle Control engineering considerations
Rating to the threat
A crash rating describes the vehicle mass and speed a product has stopped in testing. The required rating comes from the site's approach analysis.
Foundations and drainage
Shallow-mount options suit sites with buried services; drainage prevents water damaging hydraulic equipment.
Safe operation
Interlocks, warning lights and operator training prevent accidents with authorised traffic.
Systems that work with Vehicle Control
Vehicle Control questions answered
What does crash-rated mean?
It means the product stopped a test vehicle of a defined weight at a defined speed under a recognised standard, such as ASTM F2656 or IWA 14-1.
Do road blockers need deep excavation?
Not always. Shallow-mount and surface-mounted models are available where underground services limit depth.
