[0055] In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a user who wishes to pass from direction A to direction B using the first turnstile body (I) by using the passage lane X transmits the passage request to the validator (3) in the master setup (M) on the first turnstile body (I) by using the media in his / her right hand to one of the readers (4, 5) in the master setup (M) on the first turnstile body (I). The validator (3) in the master setup (M) on the first turnstile body (I) detects the passage direction and transmits the passage order to the turnstile control module (1) on the first turnstile body (I) with the help of the eighth communication cable (17) and the turnstile arms (2) on the first turnstile body (I) is allowed to turn from direction A to direction B and the user is allowed to pass using the passage lane X.

[0056] In another embodiment of the invention, a user who wishes to pass from direction B to direction A using the second turnstile body (II) by using the passage lane X transmits the passage request to the validator (3) on the second turnstile body (II) by using one of the readers (4, 5) on the second turnstile body (II) and in the slave setup (S) with his / her right hand. The validator (3) on the second turnstile body (II) detects the direction of passage and communicates with the validator (3) on the first turnstile body (I) with the help of the first connection point (3.1). The validator (3) on the first turnstile body (I) transmits the pass order to the turnstile control module (1) on the first turnstile body (I) with the help of the eighth communication cable (17) and the turnstile arms (2) on the first turnstile body (I) turns from direction B to direction A and the user is allowed to pass using the passage lane X.

[0057] In the system (100), a queue is created in the turnstile control module (1) by queuing multiple users during a simultaneous passage request, regardless of direction. The turnstile arms (2) are open in both directions, again regardless of the direction, as long as the passage queue and users can pass independently of the queue. The turnstile control module (1) keeps the queuing process in memory without allowing passage after the queuing limit is exceeded. With the queuing mechanism, more than one passage approval is given by scanning more than one validators (3) in both directions without waiting for the passage to be made, and the passages in said number of approvals are tracked. Thus, in the system (100) not the passage queues but pass rights are defined and monitored.

[0058] In the system (100), media reading and fee deduction are carried out simultaneously with the validator (3) belonging to the opposite direction in the same lane. When trying to read media to two readers at the same time, time is saved by parallelizing the reading process without waiting for the readers (4, 5). Due to unsuccessful and problematic readers (4, 5), waiting for a transaction from the opposite reader (4, 5) to take action is prevented.

[0059] The “right-hand rule” mentioned in the invention includes the possibility for the user to use the turnstile arms (2) located in the direction of passage and positioned in front of him / her, and to use the validator (3) mechanism positioned diagonally to pass without the need to use a crossed hand. It is the structure of the system (100) that allows the media to be read to the readers (4, 5) located to the right of the user's passing direction each time.

[0060] The “master setup (M)” mentioned in the invention means that the validator (3) on the turnstile body (I, II, III), to which the turnstile arms (2) is connected, controls the turnstile control module (1) to which the turnstile arms (2) is connected. This control is carried out according to the media reading from the readers (4, 5) or the passage approval information coming from the validator (3) located in the slave setup (S). It transmits the passage request coming from the readers (4, 5) and the passage request from the validator (3) located in the slave setup (S) to the turnstile control module (1). The master setup (M) serves as the controller. The preferred definition of master is used as equivalent to the definition of manager.

[0061] The “slave arrangement (S)” referred to in the invention means that the right hand rule can be applied by controlling the turnstile control module (1) to which the turnstile arms (2) is connected via the validator (3) on the left cross turnstile body (I, II, III) to which the turnstile arms (2) is not connected and the validator (3) on the turnstile body (I, II, III) to which the turnstile arms (2) is connected. It transmits the passage request coming from the readers (4, 5) to the validator (3) located in the master setup (M) with which it is in communication and operates by being controlled by the validator (3) located in the master setup (M) with which it is in communication. The preferred definition of slave is used as equivalent to the definition of supporter.

[0062] The "user" mentioned in the invention is used as a passenger who is a public transportation user.

[0063] The “turnstile arms (2)” mentioned in the invention is included in the system (TOO) using the three -legged turnstile type.

[0064] The "turnstile" mentioned in the invention is not limited to just three -legged tripods but includes all turnstile types. Examples of turnstile types are definitions such as tripod, optical, flap, drop-arm optical.

[0065] The “first connection cable (3.1)” mentioned in the invention provides this communication with die help of Ethernet.

[0066] The "display unit (9)" mentioned in the invention refers to the pass indicator led.

[0067] The “eighth communication cable (17)” mentioned in the invention has the ability to provide the communication in question via serial port communication (RS232, RS422, RS485), ethernet, wired or wireless.

[0068] "Turnstile bodies (I, II, III)" mentioned in the invention are products with the same mechanism and structure. When one side of the turnstile bodies (I, II, III) is closed, the master setup (M) or the slave setup (S) may not be operated depending on its position. In the example of the invention, since the left side of the second turnstile body (II) is not included in the system (100), the master setup (M) and since the right side of the third turnstile body (III) is not included in the system (100), the slave setup (S) is only passive in order not to be operated.

[0069] The concept of “pass approval” mentioned in the invention; in one example, fare deduction during entry into the public transportation system (100) in one direction at the same time, fare deduction as a transfer or transfer during exit from the public transportation system (100) in the other direction, by the user reading the media with the help of the reader (4, 5); in another example, fare deduction during entry to the public transportation system (100) in one direction at the same time and fare deduction with refund of the fare during exit from the public transportation system (100) in the other direction; in another example, fare deduction during entry to the public transportation system (100) in one direction at the same time and no fare deduction during exit from the public transportation system (100) in the other direction.

[0070] The "media" mentioned in the invention refers to the means in which the user can scan physical cards and / or EMV-enabled cards and / or NFC-enabled devices or QR codes and / or mobile digital tickets with the help of readers (4, 5).

[0071] The “power tool (6) and power source (7)” mentioned in the invention; although it is not shown in the figure, has communication with all elements and thus all elements can access power / energy.

[0072] In the preferred examples, terms such as one, two, front, back, front, back, up, down, side, arm, section, right, left, opposite, diagonal, etc. were used to make the invention easier to understand. The invention is not limited to these uses.

[0073] In the preferred examples and especially in Figure 1, only three turnstile bodies (I, II, III) have been selected both for ease of explanation and for a more understandable drawing area. The invention is not limited to this much, it can be reduced or increased according to preference. This situation does not cause any difference in the operation of the system (100).

[0074] The invention is not limited to the above explanations, and a person skilled in the art can easily reveal different applications of the invention. These are the evaluations of the invention within the scope of the protection requested by the claims.
