Essential components of a vehicle access control system

A vehicle access control system is a security tool used to regulate and control vehicle access to a specific area, such as a shopping mall, business center, or parking lot. A vehicle access control system helps increase vehicle security within the controlled area.

A good vehicle access control system should integrate different control techniques such as license plate identification, tag device reading, access control via bank cards, etc., thus adapting to the different needs of users.

In Colombia, for example, Law 1480 requires the parking service provider to show the conditions under which the vehicle is received in storage. It also requires the identification of the vehicle and the delivery of a ticket which mentions the time of entry and the vehicle registration number.

The 5 most important components of a vehicle access control system are the following:

1. Access barriers: Access barriers are used to prevent or allow vehicle access to a specific area. Our projects typically utilize BL15 lifting barriers, which open in 1.2 seconds and can be operated manually or automatically. (See more about Barriers).
2. Entrance or exit columns: Horus columns are used to issue and scan tickets. They feature backlit capacitive buttons and 5 mm vandal-resistant glass framed in stainless steel. (See more about columns).
3. Puntos de pago: The Horus brand point of sale features capacitive buttons, which facilitate the transaction process, a ticket validator via scanner reader, an ergonomic design adapted for people with reduced mobility, and also has different types of payment management.
4. License plate reading: License plate reading is a technology that complements our vehicle access control system as it allows for greater accuracy in vehicle identification, thus allowing those license plates to be checked against blacklists, increasing parking security.
5. Access control software: The access control software is responsible for managing and controlling the entire vehicle access control system. This software allows for user management and the generation of administrative and tax reports.

In addition, we offer technical support plans to meet our customers' needs.

It's essential to mention that parking automation technology providers should have spare parts and technical expertise to address any issues that may arise in the system. Another important aspect is the ability to integrate different modules into the system, allowing users to have a better experience.
