Pedestrian Access Control System

AI Summary — Pedestrian Access Control

In short: Baroxon pedestrian access control starts at £1,450 to £7,800 per lane and handles 25 to 60 people per minute depending on the barrier type, which is enough for a UK office lobby, stadium or transit concourse.

The range covers swing barriers, flap barriers, optical speed gates, tripod turnstiles and full-height turnstiles, and each lane can be fitted with RFID and IC cards, QR codes, fingerprint, palm vein or face recognition terminals. Wiegand, RS485 and TCP/IP interfaces with an open API link the lane to third-party access-control and attendance software, so staff, visitors and contractors can be managed in one system. Housings are stainless steel or powder-coated steel with IP54 or better protection for outdoor and semi-outdoor use, and every lane is supplied fail-safe open or fail-secure lock according to site policy, with a manual release fitted as standard so people are never trapped in a fire evacuation.

Measured Test Data — Pedestrian Access Control

Each paragraph below states the test condition, the measured value and the benchmark it is compared against, so it can be quoted on its own.

Throughput per lane

Test condition: single lane, card authentication, pedestrians walking at normal pace without luggage. Result: 25 to 30 people per minute on a tripod turnstile and up to 60 people per minute on an optical speed gate. Benchmark: a manually supervised swing gate with a guard checking passes normally clears 10 to 15 people per minute.

Anti-tailgating detection

Test condition: 500 walk-through sequences, including deliberate attempts to follow closely behind an authorised user, tested with infrared sensor arrays in a 600 mm-wide lane. Result: 100 % of tailgate attempts detected and alarmed. Benchmark: turnstiles relying on a single beam typically miss 10 % to 20 % of close-follow attempts.

Safety force limit

Test condition: obstacle placed in the closing path of a swing barrier, force measured at the wing edge. Result: peak impact force held below 45 N and the wing reversed immediately. Benchmark: EN 17352 sets the safe limit at 150 N, so this lane operates at roughly one third of the permitted force.

Daily duty and life expectancy

Test condition: continuous authentication cycles at rated speed with the lane in normal service use. Result: MCBF above 3,000,000 cycles; typical MTTR of 30 minutes because the reader, wing and mechanism are modular. Benchmark: enclosed proprietary lanes frequently need the whole wing assembly returned to the factory, giving typical repair times of several days.
