Vehicle Access Control Experience
There is a growing interest in access control schemes to tackle traffic and environmental problems in our towns and cities.
Vehicle Access Control
The implementation of Vehicle Access Control (VAC) schemes has allowed local authorities to change the priority of our urban spaces to:
- Reduce the impact and severance caused by traffic;
- Reduce pollution and tackle congestion caused by unnecessary car journeys;
- Enhancing an area’s accessibility, vitality and quality.
The design of schemes has seen a growing use of technology, with the development from simple signs and manually operated barriers to hi-tech fully automatic solutions such as rising bollards and traffic signal based systems. This has led to the development of a wide range of VAC solutions that can be tailored to meet the local objectives of forward thinking local authorities.
TTR has worked on a number of VAC schemes and undertaken a study for the DfT leading to guidance on the subject. This gave us an understanding of many innovative schemes including those in:
- Bath
- Halifax
- Cambridge
- Durham
- Gloucester
- Norwich
- Oxford
- York
