Protecting Public Spaces & Events per DIN SPEC 91414-2

Engineering understands forces. Criminology understands people. ViaGuardium combines both.

Cities, municipalities and security planners must protect public spaces and events from vehicle attacks. ViaGuardium is the digital planning software that creates access protection concepts per DIN SPEC 91414-2 in minutes instead of weeks — with drag & drop on the map, AI-powered hazard analysis and auditable PDF documentation.

From Hazard Analysis to Tender Documentation — In One Application.

Creating access protection concepts with spreadsheets and word processors is cumbersome and error-prone. ViaGuardium digitizes the entire process — from map-based planning to AI-powered risk analysis to auditable PDF reports.

ViaGuardium combines methods from machine learning, geodata analysis and CPTED criteria (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) to objectively quantify spatial and behavioral risk factors.

Place Protection Points via Drag & Drop

Define access points directly on map material — the software visually shows where vulnerabilities or gaps in the protection concept exist.

Simply drag & drop protection points to the right position on the map. ViaGuardium analyzes spatial structures and hazard potentials — and automatically calculates the hazard coefficient, impact energy and impulse for every realistic scenario.

Existing concepts can be quickly adapted and reused when access routes change or new events are planned — no need to start from scratch every time.

  • Drag & drop placement — Position protection points directly on map material
  • Visual vulnerability detection — Gaps and weak points are automatically highlighted
  • AI hazard coefficient — Data-driven risk analysis per DIN SPEC 91414-2 per access point
  • Automatic parameters — Impact energy (J), impulse (kg·m/s) and velocity per point
  • Reuse concepts — Adapt existing concepts instead of creating new ones from scratch

Data-Based Hazard Analysis — Spatial and Behavioral

ViaGuardium is a data-based instrument for the objective risk analysis of public spaces. The software uses AI to calculate a hazard coefficient based on multidimensional data sources — e.g. spatial structure, usage frequency, historical incidents, environmental analysis — as described in DIN SPEC 91414-2.

Machine Learning — The algorithm combines methods from machine learning, geodata analysis and CPTED criteria
Spatial & behavioral risk factors — ViaGuardium quantifies both dimensions and combines them in one hazard coefficient
Automatic risk assessment — The digital hazard evaluation replaces manual calculations with a data-based analysis
Product-neutral results — Requirements instead of product recommendations — auditable and tender-ready

What ViaGuardium delivers:

The software analyses 7 categories for the risk and spatial components used to classify access protection:

General Data

Occasion-Related Factors

Spatial Factors

Security Factors

Offence-Influencing Factors

Events

Access Protection Points

Technical Influence Factors (per Access Protection Point)

  • Road width, longitudinal gradient, road course
  • Approach route and protection zone
  • Vehicle class, velocity, impact energy, impulse

Product-Neutral Tender Documentation

Requirements instead of product recommendations.

Some tools recommend manufacturer products directly — funded by a marketplace where manufacturers pay for visibility. ViaGuardium deliberately delivers product-neutral tender documentation: technical requirements instead of product names. This keeps procurement processes fair and legally compliant.

Consistently product-neutral — No manufacturer marketplace, no sponsored recommendations. Requirements are based exclusively on standards and calculations
Auditable documentation — Technical and criminological foundation that authorities can directly use as a tender basis
Technical parameters — Impact energy, impulse, velocity and vehicle classes — verifiable and referenceable
PDF export — Professional reports with all details, versioned and revision-safe

Authorities don't decide based on geometry and speed alone. ViaGuardium additionally quantifies spatial and behavioral risk factors — transparently documented and directly linked to technical parameters. This increases traceability and accelerates approvals.

What ViaGuardium Does Differently

Many tools on the market focus purely on technical access analysis and combine it with a manufacturer marketplace. ViaGuardium deliberately takes a different approach.

Purely Technical Tools

  • Access analysis + velocity — without criminological assessment
  • Manufacturer marketplace with paid product placement
  • No hazard coefficient per DIN SPEC 91414-2

ViaGuardium

  • Spatial & behavioral risk factors: Not just engineering — criminological dimensions also feed into the hazard coefficient
  • Consistently product-neutral: No marketplace — requirements instead of product names
  • Factored hazard coefficient: Engineering + criminology united, AI-powered per DIN SPEC 91414-2
  • Reuse concepts: Adapt existing concepts instead of creating from scratch every time

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ViaGuardium actually do?
ViaGuardium is a web-based planning software for access protection concepts. It allows you to place protection points via drag & drop on map material, automatically calculates technical parameters like impact energy and impulse, creates an AI-powered hazard analysis per DIN SPEC 91414-2 and generates auditable PDF reports — all in one application.
What is the hazard coefficient?
The hazard coefficient is a measure described in DIN SPEC 91414-2 for objective risk analysis of public spaces. ViaGuardium calculates it data-driven based on multidimensional sources — including spatial structure, usage frequency, historical incidents and environmental analysis. Methods from machine learning, geodata analysis and CPTED criteria are combined.
Does ViaGuardium assess attacker behavior?
Yes. The algorithm combines methods from machine learning, geodata analysis and CPTED criteria (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) to quantify spatial and behavioral risk factors. These feed together with technical parameters into the hazard coefficient per DIN SPEC 91414-2.
How does ViaGuardium differ from classical tools?
Classical tools focus on access analysis and velocity calculation. ViaGuardium additionally uses AI based on multidimensional data sources to quantify spatial and behavioral risk factors — auditable, traceable, product-neutral.
Can I reuse existing concepts?
Yes. Existing access protection concepts can be adapted and reused. When access routes change or new events are planned at the same location, there is no need to start from scratch — adjustments can be made quickly.
Is ViaGuardium suitable for KfW funding (IKK 208)?
ViaGuardium creates standards-compliant, auditable documentation that supports the requirements of the KfW funding program IKK 208 (Investment Credit for Municipalities). The product-neutral tender documentation and traceable calculations can serve as a basis for funding applications.
Which standards are covered?
ViaGuardium follows DIN SPEC 91414-1 (mobile vehicle security barriers), DIN SPEC 91414-2 (requirements for access protection planning) and DIN ISO 22343-2 (security and resilience). The software is offered as Planning-as-a-Service — standards updates are applied automatically.
Can multiple people work on a concept?
Yes. Multiple people can work on a concept simultaneously and share it in real time. This saves time and coordination effort between authorities, planners and service providers.
How do I get access to the software?
Access is available through our certified partners or directly via the contact form above. You will receive a free trial access.
