he pedestrian and road access control market is undergoing a complete transformation to address multiple threats, including terrorist ones.

The need for identification and traceability requires a combination of robust physical equipment and intelligent applications such as AI for:

• facial recognition;

• license plate reading;

• anomaly or suspicious behavior detection.

The desire to automate site entries and exits necessitates the installation of automatic speed gates and corridors, enabling control and security for access to authorized areas.

Similarly, for the management of private or public parking lots, automatic barriers combined with LPR (License Plate Recognition) and ticketing systems enhance security and user management.

The high security required for perimeter protection, particularly for strategic and sensitive sites, is ensured by the implementation of crash-test certified road blockers and automatic or fixed bollards.

Airports and Train Stations – Maximum Fluidity and Security

In airports and train stations, security is paramount while traffic fluidity is essential. Access control functionalities include the use of tripod turnstiles for fast passenger transit areas, as well as automatic revolving doors or motorized swing gates for PRM (Persons with Reduced Mobility) access and high-volume flows. Full-height turnstiles can be deployed in restricted access areas reserved for staff. Access control systems are integrated with the management of boarding passes, tickets, and staff IDs, ensuring quick and reliable verification while preventing unauthorized access to sensitive areas such as runways or cargo zones.

Sports and Events – Crowd Management and Intrusion Prevention

Sports and event venues experience massive influxes of people in a short period, requiring efficient and secure management. Tripod turnstiles are commonly used to control the entry and exit of spectators, managing large volumes of people. Secure access gates can be added for people with reduced mobility or for the passage of equipment and materials. Features include reading electronic tickets (QR codes, barcodes), detecting prohibited items, and preventing overcrowding. Access control systems are crucial for perimeter security and flow management in case of emergencies.

Logistics and Transport – Securing Goods and Flows

In the logistics and transport sector, the security of goods and infrastructure is a constant challenge. Access control equipment here is varied: from tire killers to prevent unauthorized vehicle access to sensitive warehouses, to boom barriers for checkpoints. Full-height turnstiles can secure pedestrian access to storage or transshipment areas. Access control systems are often integrated with warehouse management software, license plate recognition systems, and biometric identification for personnel, ensuring increased traceability and security of logistics flows.

Sensitive and Industrial Sites – Enhanced Protection Against Threats

Sensitive and industrial sites require the highest level of security. Full-height turnstiles are the norm here for pedestrian access, offering maximum protection against intrusion and vandalism. Automatic tire killers and anti-ram bollards are used for vehicle access. Features include sophisticated intrusion detection systems, advanced biometrics for personnel identification, and extensive integration with video surveillance and alarm systems. These access control systems are designed to operate in demanding environments and can withstand high mechanical loads for continuous functionality.

Education, Culture – Protecting People and Heritage

In educational and cultural institutions (universities, museums, libraries, etc.), access control systems must reconcile public openness with security. Tripod turnstiles are suitable for library or museum entrances, while motorized gates facilitate access for students or staff. Features can include student ID card reading and access schedule management. The objective is to protect students, staff, and valuable works or documents, while maintaining a welcoming environment.

Cities, Smart Buildings – Integration and Intelligent Management

The concept of Cities and Smart Buildings integrates access control into a broader vision of urban optimization and infrastructure management. Access control systems become components of the city’s intelligent network, managing access to public parking lots, critical infrastructure, or smart office buildings. Features include facial recognition for building access, flow management via sensors, and integration with mobile applications for service access. The goal is to improve security, convenience, and operational efficiency at the urban scale.
