VECTOR solves the critical impact speed along the entire approach path — every straight and curve, friction-circle coupled, EV-aware — and returns the required ASTM F2656 M-rating, an ASTM F3016 S-rating where feasible, and a documented report. Physics-complete vehicle vector analysis, in minutes.
A three-pass solve over the whole approach: curvature limits in every bend, traction- and power-limited acceleration on the straights, and a braking envelope back from each downstream constraint — coupled through the friction circle.
The perpendicular kinetic energy at the barrier line sets the ASTM F2656 M-rating, with an ASTM F3016 S-rating reported where the vector falls inside the low-speed envelope, and the required penetration class from your setback.
A complete input register, method comparison against the legacy single-radius check, both figures, and the full limitations and disclaimer package — or an engineer-reviewed and signed issue.
One paid analysis for one site, yours to keep. Buy it per engagement — no subscription.
Unlimited analyses and unlimited Standard reports, for practitioners running vehicle-threat work continuously.
Everything in Practitioner (monthly), billed annually — two months free.
Have a PNH protective design engineer review one report and issue it signed. Priced per report, on top of any plan.
