Every environment presents a different balance of risk, responsibility and operational reality. At Pitagone UK, our approach starts with understanding how a space is used, how people move through it and what level of protection is appropriate, before recommending any specific system.
Our solutions are designed to support proportionate, well considered Hostile Vehicle Mitigation across a wide range of public spaces, from short term event deployments to more integrated, long term protection. Rather than treating HVM as a standalone measure, we focus on how it fits alongside access, operations and public reassurance.
Mobile Hostile Vehicle Mitigation
Mobile Hostile Vehicle Mitigation provides flexible protection for locations where risks may change over time or where permanent infrastructure is not suitable. It is widely used across events, venues and public spaces that require robust protection without committing to fixed installations.
Pitagone’s mobile HVM solutions are designed to perform in real world conditions. Systems are fully tested in operational configurations and adaptable to different surfaces, layouts and access requirements. This allows sites to respond to identified risks while maintaining the ability to open routes for authorised vehicles and preserve the everyday function of the space.
Mobile HVM is particularly suited to environments where security measures need to be deployed quickly, adjusted as layouts evolve, or removed once protection is no longer required, without leaving a permanent visual or physical impact.
Temporary deployments are often required in environments where public access increases for a defined period of time, such as events, festivals, seasonal attractions or temporary changes to public realm use.
In these scenarios, Hostile Vehicle Mitigation needs to be effective, rapid to deploy and straightforward to manage on site. Pitagone supports temporary protection by providing mobile systems that can be installed efficiently, operated by trained teams and adapted as conditions change throughout an event lifecycle.
By focusing on temporary solutions that are proportionate and operationally realistic, clients can protect people and assets while maintaining smooth arrivals, departures and pedestrian flow, even in complex or fast moving environments.
Protect-PA is Pitagone’s software platform designed to support the planning of security for public spaces and help prevent vehicle ramming attacks. It gives teams a simple, practical way to understand risk, test different approaches and plan proportionate Hostile Vehicle Mitigation before equipment is deployed on site.
Using easy to use geographical mapping, Protect-PA allows users to map a location, place movable equipment within the environment and measure the potential speeds that could be reached by a hostile vehicle. This helps organisations visualise exposure, compare options and make more informed decisions about where HVM measures should sit to be effective, operationally realistic and aligned with how the space needs to function.
Pitagone products are already integrated within the platform, making it straightforward to plan deployments using the Pitagone range of barriers. Additional HVM products can also be incorporated, supporting a joined up approach where multiple measures and suppliers may be involved. For councils, venues and organisers, Protect-PA provides a clearer foundation for internal planning, stakeholder conversations and security decision making.
Across all solutions, Pitagone UK works closely with clients to understand risk, context and constraints before recommending an approach. The aim is always to deliver protection that is appropriate, tested and aligned with how a space actually operates, supporting confidence for organisers, authorities and the public alike..
