Questions about Sentinel?

Sentinel is designed for security professionals, event organisers, consultants and teams responsible for assessing vehicle access, crowded places and mitigation strategies.

No. Sentinel is focused on early-stage HVM assessment, option comparison and stakeholder communication. CAD and BIM tools remain appropriate for detailed construction and engineering documentation.

A typical workflow starts by mapping the real site and its access points. Teams then test hostile vehicle approaches, review potential speeds and trajectories, and compare mitigation layouts using the same site reference.

Scenarios can consider vehicle characteristics, approach paths, entry angles, trajectories and potential speeds against the real geometry of the location.

No. Sentinel supports professional planning and analysis, but its simulations are not themselves a certification. They help teams review scenarios and mitigation options using recognised HVM references as part of the wider design process.

Yes. The workflow can support planning for temporary event environments as well as permanent public, private or critical sites, depending on the access requirements and operational constraints of the location.

Sentinel can be used to prepare clear visual outputs for review and sharing, including project material that helps communicate barrier positions, vehicle trajectories and mitigation proposals.

Yes. One of Sentinel's strengths is turning technical HVM planning into visual material that is easier for authorities, clients, operational teams and other stakeholders to understand and discuss.
