High Speed Vehicle Access Control
Dot credentials are being used to open exterior vehicle gates automatically, enabling “rolling access,” where the vehicle is not required to stop to gain authorization and to open the gate. In addition, there is accountability for everyone inside the vehicle. Employee entrance speed is increased, and this increased process flow amounts to a minimum of 10% savings off the time previously required.
Implementation Overview
High Speed Access Control in the Utility Industry
In 2005, Axcess implemented its vehicle access control system. It is being used by an electric utility company, Great River Energy, to control vehicle access at remote locations automatically while improving security needed for homeland defense initiatives. The system provides automatic identification and validation of authorized employees, thereby improving security and tracking employee activity, while reducing the time it takes to enter the gated areas.
“We needed to upgrade our security system from a manual lock and key system to electronic gate access,” commented Mark Royseth of Great River Energy. “By installing Axcess’ access control system, we are able to automate entry into the facilities for authorized personnel and greatly increase our security. Now we also have an event log that automatically tracks employee activity across multiple locations.”
Employees are given an active tag that transmits its identification to a palm size receiver tied to the gate controller. Access is now provided immediately for authorized personnel at the gates where drivers previously had to exit the vehicle and manually unlock the gate. Now, with automatic identification and access, the driver never leaves the vehicle, thus improving security and efficiency.
