critical structural elements or infrastructure from malicious DBT vehicle-ramming attacks or accidental vehicle impacts. They also appropriate locations and ratings for new vehicle barriers, a vehicle vector analysis is performed. This analysis includes a review of adja- cent roadway layout to determine potential approaches for attacking vehicle acceleration, roadway restrictions to identify potential vehicle threat parameters and magnitudes (type of vehicle, acceleration ca- pabilities, mass), and operational procedures used to further restrict access and control vehicle movement.
BLAST ANALYSIS FOR VBIED THREATS -
- nation of mitigation options to implement.
CRASH-RATED PERIMETER PLAN Common vehicle barrier impact rating standards include the De- partment of State (DoS) “K rating” system and the analogous Amer- ican Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) “M rating” system. Each of these systems includes a designation to indicate the impact condition (vehicle weight and velocity). Additionally, another designa- tion is typically provided referring to the allowable penetration that a ramming vehicle may achieve when impacting a barrier. Each of velocities as shown in Table 1.
CRASH-RATED PERIMETER PLAN After establishing the types, locations, and impacts from vehi- cle-ramming threats and VBIED, the venue owner and consultants can evaluate various recommendations to mitigate the various DBTs. In designing and applying measures to mitigate against the risk of ve- hicle ramming attacks, it is important to balance the security require- ments with the operational and functional needs associated with the typical user of the facility or venue. As a result, a mitigation strategy location. FM
