Apparatus for controlling vehicle entry to and/or exit from a space

Abstract

An apparatus for controlling vehicle entry to and/or exit from a space comprising: - at least a first barrier device comprising at least a first moving barrier element and first actuator means to reversibly move said first barrier element between a first operating position, in which the first barrier element obstructs transit along a first transit lane to/from said space, and a second operating position, in which the first barrier element allows transit along said first transit lane; and - at least a second barrier device comprising at least a second moving barrier element and second actuator means to reversibly move said second barrier element between a first operating position, in which the second barrier element obstructs transit along a second transit lane to/from said space, and a second operating position, in which the second barrier element allows transit along said second transit lane. At least the first barrier device comprises a first control module, provided with a first user interface, accessible to a user travelling along the second transit lane. The aforesaid first control module is adapted to send first control signals to the second barrier device to activate at least the second actuator means of the second barrier device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for controlling the entry and / or exit of vehicles into and / or out of a space, such as a public or private car park, a restricted traffic area or road or a toll area or toll road or more generally with a restricted entrance and / or exit any spaces. Background technique [0002] The use of control devices to manage entry / exit of vehicles into / out of a space with restricted access, such as pay parking areas, is widely known. [0003] These control devices typically include at least one entry station and one exit station to regulate travel into and out of the space. [0004] An entry station includes a device for controlling movement along an entry lane, usually a device for dispensing a ticket indicating the time of entry. [0005] The control device is operatively connected to an intercepting device located at a distance along the access lane. [0006] The blocking device is provided with a moving blocking member, such...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0013] Typically, these devices comprise relatively complex structures with several elements to be assembled / installed and are of considerable size

[0014] Moreover, the installation time and cost of these devices are often relatively high

In fact, expensive construction work (excavation, foundations and plumbing) is often required to install and electrically connect the components of the equipment

Naturally, this also translates into an increase in the overall construction cost
