The terrorist attacks in Europe have highlighted the problem of safety in public places. It is enough to run a vehicle at high speed towards the crowd to cause a large number of injuries and victims.

Abstract
The terrorist attacks in Europe have highlighted the problem of safety in public places. It is enough to run a vehicle at high speed towards the crowd to cause a large number of injuries and victims. In response to these phenomena, the Municipalities have perimetered sensitive areas with protection tools. The authors of this work have already designed a mobile anti-terrorism barrier capable of stopping 3500 kg and 7500 kg vehicles with a speed of 64 km/h in a few meters. In this work, the connection of two barriers by ropes is designed using Finite Element (FE) method to perimeter large areas with a small number of devices. Steel and Dyneema® ropes are studied, discussing the number of ropes and the dimensions needed.File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
