- Vehicle Barriers
- CISA’s Vehicle Ramming Self-Assessment Tool was developed in partnership with the Chicago Police Department to assist critical infrastructure owners and operators and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies with evaluating areas of interest against the risk of a vehicle-ramming style of attack. It’s a web-based resource comprised of a series of simple questions that evaluate various components of a facility to assess potential vulnerabilities to a vehicle ramming attack. Based on responses, the tool provides recommended actions to reduce risk; it also includes access to a multitude of informational resources.
- The Dam Sector - Active and Passive Vehicle Barriers Guide assists dam owners and operators in understanding various types of active and passive vehicle barriers and how to incorporate them into their overall security plan. The guide also provides a cursory level of technical information regarding barriers and includes references to assist owners and operators in properly designing protective schemes and selecting vehicle barriers and their appurtenant safety and security systems.
- The Guide to Active Vehicle Barrier (AVB) Specification and Selection Resources provides information to help engineers, policy makers, security managers, intelligence analysts, and other security professionals successfully determine Active Vehicle Barrier (AVB) specifications and select appropriate AVB models for a particular site requiring restricted access. The document presents an overview of AVB specification- and selection-related processes.
- The Active Vehicle Barrier Selection Tool is market research in a spreadsheet that allows a potential consumer to evaluate the plethora of commercially available barriers in a searchable format. Note: The products offered are to be used for informational purposes only to assist with Active Vehicle Barrier specification and selection processes. Department of State and Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) have not established any new standards through these documents. Existing standards included are cited as such. Department of State and TSWG do not endorse any model or manufacturer included in these products.
