The Turntable Vehicle Barrier (TVB) is a security device that opens and closes secure streets and roadways. Combining an industrial turntable with impact posts, the TVB rotates within a street to provide access to approved vehicles. The TVB was created because of problems with existing devices, originally designed for military installations. The design team worked closely with the City of New York to meet the security requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the New York Police Department to create an adaptable device that can be incorporated with the surrounding architecture.
