Equipment Package: Barrier System Management

Description: This equipment package provides the management of barrier systems for transportation facilities and infrastructure. Barrier systems include automatic or remotely controlled gates, barriers and other systems intended to preclude an attack or control access during and after an incident. When access to part of the transportation system is impacted by the activation of a barrier system, travelers and appropriate subsystems are notified.
