Vehicle mitigation and connected safety technologies help protect pedestrians, manage access, and support rapid response during large-scale events and complex public gatherings

TrafFix Devices, a leading manufacturer and supplier of traffic control devices and crash attenuation products, is highlighting its portfolio of safety solutions designed to support security, traffic management, and incident response for major international events such as the FIFA World Cup, the LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and other large public gatherings hosted in cities worldwide. As host cities prepare for surges in pedestrian activity, temporary traffic changes, and elevated security requirements, TrafFix Devices offers products engineered to help protect spectators, restrict unauthorized vehicle access, and improve situational awareness around critical safety assets.

At the forefront of these offerings is the Block Axess Vehicle Mitigation System, a modular hostile vehicle mitigation solution designed to prevent unauthorized vehicular access to pedestrian zones and public gathering areas near stadiums, arenas, and fan villages. Constructed from thick, galvanized steel with tamper-resistant assembly, the Block Axess delivers a robust physical barrier for entry points, perimeter edges, and temporary access control zones around venues and city-center activations. Tested to ASTM standards with a P3 rating, the system is designed to resist vehicles up to 7.5 tons traveling at 30 mph, giving organizers and public agencies a dependable option for vehicle threat mitigation in dense urban environments.

The Block Axess system is also designed for the operational demands of event build-up, live days, and teardown. A single person can assemble or disassemble the system in approximately 14 minutes, helping teams respond quickly to changing layouts, last-minute road closure requirements, or evolving access management plans. Its modular design allows planners to configure protection for narrow streets, wide plazas, and complex venue approaches, while compact storage and transport features make it well-suited for agencies and contractors tasked with supporting multiple events, seasons, and locations over time.

To complement physical mitigation at and around event venues, TrafFix Devices also offers the Sentinel Impact Tracker, a connected impact detection and asset monitoring solution that helps agencies and contractors maintain awareness of critical roadside and work zone safety devices. Mounted directly to crash cushions, guardrails, end terminals, barriers, signs, and other safety assets, Sentinel provides immediate impact notification and precise GPS location data whenever a device is struck. During periods of increased traffic around stadiums, park-and-ride facilities, temporary transit hubs, and shuttle routes serving major events, Sentinel gives operations teams real-time visibility into where impacts occur so maintenance and emergency response crews can be dispatched quickly and with the right equipment.

Sentinel Impact Tracker also supports broader network-wide asset management through a secure online portal accessible via desktop and mobile devices. Each unit can be associated with a specific crash cushion, guardrail end terminal, sign, or other roadside asset, with records including installation details, site location, installer information, and full impact and inspection history. For cities, state departments of transportation, toll authorities, and contractors supporting events like the LA 2028 Games or regional tournament host cities, this live asset database helps reduce manual inspections, prioritize repairs and replacements, document field conditions for regulatory compliance, and justify funding allocations in post-event reviews.
