\"\"In 2017, Kimley-Horn designed a series of high-security pedestrian protection bollards along Las Vegas Boulevard in Clark County, NV. The project included more than 4,500 crash rated bollards, 3,700 linear feet of crash-rated post and cable protection, and 5,300 linear feet of concrete barrier rail, providing more than 8 total miles of pedestrian protection along the corridor. This past summer, the bollards ensured the errant vehicle pictured below resulted in no injuries, though it occurred within feet of a heavily-populated pedestrian area on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Vehicle-borne threats from both errant and intentional acts are on the rise<\/a>. Unfortunately, the parking and mobility industry is not immune to these threats as parking and curb areas present numerous factors that make them danger zones\u2014distracted drivers, pedestrians, and micromobility users; blind spots due to parked vehicles; and delivery and pickup zones.<\/p>\n

Kimley-Horn\u2019s Threat Mitigation Consulting Services (TMCS) is designed to\u00a0protect lives and critical infrastructure\u00a0against accidental or hostile vehicle impacts. TMCS has been awarded \u201cDesignated\u201d status under the Federal\u00a0SAFETY Act<\/a>\u00a0(www.safetyact.gov<\/a>) as having documented ability to mitigate the impact of both accidental events and intentional attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cKimley-Horn is one of only a few engineering firms to have successfully completed the rigorous review process of the Department of Homeland Security,\u201d explains Aaron Nathan, P.E., AICP<\/strong> (Dallas, TX). \u201cIt\u2019s an unpleasant topic, but we can help you review your existing or planned projects\/facilities and provide options that will improve safety related to vehicle threats.\u201d<\/p>\n

TMCS is a set of professional engineering services and proprietary software tools used to identify risks and protect individuals and infrastructure from errant vehicles and vehicle-borne terrorist threats. The TMCS suite of services includes assessing existing and proposed infrastructure; evaluating locations, facilities, attractions, and special events with the goal of protecting critical infrastructure and people from vehicle-borne attacks; identifying vulnerabilities; mitigating and prioritization planning; and designing infrastructure to mitigate potential threats, prevent injuries, and save lives.<\/p>\n
