Course Description: AEC Daily: Hidden in Plain Sight: An Introduction to Vehicle-Ramming Mitigation
In light of recent global events, the threat of domestic terrorism has heightened the need for protective design in public spaces. This course explores strategies for vehicle-ramming mitigation and the role of perimeter protection devices in safeguarding people and property. It examines key US and international standards, risk-assessment tools, design strategies, and case studies that demonstrate how protective solutions can be seamlessly incorporated into urban landscapes. Learners will discover how thoughtful design can integrate counterterrorism measures into the built environment without compromising public safety, functionality, and visual appeal.
Identify potential threats, risk factors, and site vulnerabilities that necessitate perimeter protection and vehicle-ramming mitigation measures to safeguard public health and safety.
Interpret key US and international standards, including ASTM and ISO testing protocols, to ensure products meet defined performance, resilience, and safety requirements.
Apply design strategies, regulatory guidance, and best practices, such as those outlined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), to develop proportionate, site-specific protection strategies that balance safety, accessibility, and design integrity.
Evaluate real-world case studies and design solutions that integrate active and passive perimeter protection systems to create secure and visually cohesive urban spaces that promote well-being and public confidence.
