Urban and pedestrian security are major topics nowadays, considering the numerous terror attacks involving moving vehicles that have occurred over the past few years, as well as the fact that the population in urban areas worldwide is growing rapidly – in two decades it is expected that a staggering 75% of our world population will be living in a city, according to an IFSEC report.
The tragic incidents in Barcelona, Berlin, Charlottesville, Paris, London, Jerusalem and Stockholm in the past few years have proven that cars are considered a high security threat in crowded areas. It is evident that crowds of people in cities need better protection than is offered in most cities today.
Vehicle entrances to these city centres are controlled with technology. Bollards are physical barriers that effectively prevent any unauthorised vehicle from entering, and can help protect pedestrians against vehicle-based attacks.
