Abstract :
The overall aim of any decisions concerning perimeter security is to strike a balance between security and cost. This necessitates making difficult choices between barriers, alarm systems and staff for patrol or response duties. A computer software package known as CLASP (Comparative Layout Analysis for Secure Perimeters) was developed to support this decision making process. It is based on a mathematical model that evaluates sets of performance measures, such as the chance of an escape, and the cost of construction, for a number of alternative perimeter arrangements
