What is an Automated Barrier Gate System?

Automated gate barriers are an increasingly popular solution for a diverse range of traffic access and parking solutions, commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial parking applications.

An automated gate system typically includes a combination of automatic barriers and bollards that are connected with a vehicle access control system to provide seamless entry and exit.

On top of that, automated barrier systems can also be connected with variable message signs to help control the flow of traffic and improve car park management.

This is especially common for large shared car parks such as supermarkets, corporate parking facilities, airports, retail shopping centres etc. that need an effective system to help signal when a car park is full or direct vehicles already in the car park to available spaces.

 

Personnel Costs

Let’s start with the most obvious challenge – employing security guards is expensive. It’s a never-ending flow of money that your organisation is wasting on a job that could be automated by using a robust people and vehicle access solution.

Reduced Vehicle Theft

Vehicle theft went through the roof by up to 60% in the UK between 2016 and 2019, and it keeps rising. With solutions like TRANSIT and booster tags, it will be practically impossible to steal vehicles from premises, as the vehicle simply won’t be granted exit without the accompanying ID card.
