Case Studies

In today’s world, businesses across various industries face increasing security challenges. Unauthorized vehicle access can lead to theft, vandalism, and safety risks. Coyote Traffic Spikes have been instrumental in helping businesses enhance their security measures and control vehicular access effectively. In this article, we present several case studies showcasing how different organizations improved their security with our traffic spike solutions.

Case Study 1: Enhancing Security at a Logistics Company

Background: A large logistics company managing a busy distribution center faced challenges with unauthorized vehicles entering their premises, leading to security breaches and theft of valuable goods. The facility operates 24/7 with a high volume of heavy trucks and trailers.

Solution: The company implemented Coyote Traffic’s heavy-duty motorized traffic spikes at all entry and exit points. These spikes were integrated with their existing RFID access control system, allowing only authorized vehicles to enter. The spikes were designed to handle up to 69 tons per axle, suitable for heavy commercial vehicles.

Results:

• Improved Security: Unauthorized vehicle access was eliminated, reducing theft incidents by 95%.
• Operational Efficiency: Seamless integration with the RFID system streamlined vehicle entry and exit, minimizing delays.
• Compliance: The solution met industry security standards as outlined by the International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA).

Case Study 2: Securing a Gated Residential Community

Background: A gated residential community sought to enhance security for its residents by preventing unauthorized vehicle entry. Previous methods, such as manual gatekeeping, were inefficient and led to traffic congestion.

Solution: The community installed Coyote Traffic’s ultra-quiet, in-ground traffic spikes at the entrance and exit lanes. The spikes were integrated with an automated gate system and residents’ keycards, ensuring only authorized vehicles could enter. The low-profile design was safe for all vehicles, including those with low ground clearance.

Results:

• Enhanced Resident Safety: Unauthorized access was prevented, increasing residents’ sense of security.
• Improved Traffic Flow: Automated access reduced congestion during peak hours.
• Community Satisfaction: Positive feedback from residents led to increased property values, aligning with insights from the Community Associations Institute (CAI).

Case Study 3: Protecting a Retail Shopping Mall

Background: A large shopping mall experienced issues with unauthorized parking and security breaches in its parking facilities. The management needed a solution to control vehicle access without impacting the customer experience.

Solution: Coyote Traffic provided surface-mounted traffic spikes for the mall’s parking lot exits. The spikes allowed vehicles to exit freely but prevented re-entry through exit lanes. Clear signage and warning indicators were installed in compliance with the National Parking Association (NPA) guidelines.

Results:

• Reduced Unauthorized Parking: The mall saw a 70% decrease in unauthorized vehicle re-entry.
• Improved Security: Incidents of theft and vandalism in the parking area decreased significantly.
• Customer Convenience: The solution did not impede customer access, maintaining a positive shopping experience.

Case Study 4: Securing a Government Facility

Background: A government facility required enhanced perimeter security to prevent unauthorized vehicle access, in line with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) standards.

Solution: Coyote Traffic installed motorized traffic spikes integrated with advanced access control systems, including biometric scanners and security cameras. The spikes featured tamper-resistant designs and could be remotely controlled from a central security office.

Results:

• Enhanced Security Compliance: The facility met and exceeded DHS security requirements.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Integration with surveillance systems allowed for immediate response to security threats.
• Reliability: The durable construction ensured consistent performance with minimal maintenance.

Case Study 5: Streamlining Traffic at an Airport Parking Facility

Background: An international airport needed to improve security and traffic flow in its long-term parking facility. Challenges included unauthorized vehicle access and congestion during peak travel times.

Solution: The airport implemented Coyote Traffic’s motorized, in-ground traffic spikes at entry and exit points. The spikes were synchronized with the airport’s parking management system, including ticket dispensers and payment kiosks.

Results:

• Improved Security: Unauthorized access was curtailed, enhancing overall airport security as per Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines.
