Vehicle restraint system (VRS) for highway works per SHW Cl. 401-419 and BS EN 1317. Discriminates between six structural system types via the vrs_system_type enum: tensioned and untensioned corrugated steel beam, wire rope, in-situ concrete step barrier, precast concrete single-slope, and combined heavy-duty (corrugated beam over concrete kerb upstand). FIRST member of the highway_restraint L2 leaf — opens the brand-new highway L1 category as the 40th assembly. Six variant presets cover the principal UK commercial scenarios: motorway verge TCB N2/W4, motorway central wire rope N2/W6, urban untensioned N2/W2, bridge approach concrete step H2/W1, median precast single-slope H2/W2, and high-containment verge H4a/W4. Routes via three new WorkCategory entries (VEHICLE_RESTRAINT_SYSTEM, VRS_TERMINAL, VRS_TRANSITION) plus reuse of CONCRETE_REINFORCED, REINFORCEMENT, FORMWORK and EXCAVATION_TRENCH for the concrete variants. Codes: CESMM4 X.3 (Class X §3 — crash barriers), NRM2 34.7 (Site works — crash barriers), MMHW 400.1.{ww}.{cl} (Series 400 — Road Restraint Systems, with 2D banding by working_width × containment), SMM7 Q40.5 (Section Q40 — Fencing, crash barriers). 24th use of the classed-then-legacy attribute discrimination pattern; 5th use of the declared-then-banded pattern AND the FIRST 2D-banded handler (MMHW 400.1.{ww}.{cl} bands by both axes simultaneously). Example params: length_m=100 m (12–10000), post_spacing_m=2 m (0.5–8), foundation_width_m=0.9 m (0.2–2). Example call: {"params": {"length_m": 100, "post_spacing_m": 2, "foundation_width_m": 0.9}, "standard": "MMHW"}. Omitted parameters use sensible engineering defaults. Pass deliverables=["xlsx","dxf","pdf"] (any subset) to also receive one-shot download URLs in the same call: Excel BoQ (both tiers, watermarked free) plus the dimensioned DXF (CAD) and PDF drawing sheets (paid tier).
