Mobile Security Booth with Tilting Turnstiles for Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security systems for controlling access in risk sites, such as industrial buildings, lack effective measures to prevent unauthorized entry and exit, particularly in preventing industrial espionage and ensuring secure passage for authorized personnel.
Innovation Solution
A mobile security installation featuring a lightweight building with tilting turnstiles equipped with identification systems, a control room for surveillance, and access ramps that utilize magnetic card verification to control entry and exit, along with optional alarm systems and features for accessibility and visual impairment assistance, ensuring secure and filtered passage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional access control systems are used, then basic entry control is provided, but they lack effective measures to prevent unauthorized entry and exit and industrial espionage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple security functions into an integrated access control system: turnstiles for physical control, magnetic card readers for identification, video surveillance cameras for monitoring, and alarm systems for detection. These previously separate systems are merged into a coordinated security installation that provides comprehensive protection against unauthorized access and industrial espionage while maintaining manageable complexity through integrated control.
Solution Approach 2:
The access control system is designed with multi-functional components that serve multiple security purposes. The turnstiles not only control physical passage but also integrate identification verification through magnetic card readers. The video surveillance system serves both monitoring and recording functions. This multi-functionality enhances security effectiveness without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Reliability
If multiple security devices are added to prevent unauthorized access, then security effectiveness improves, but the system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple security devices into a unified system where turnstiles, magnetic card readers, video cameras, and alarms work together as a coordinated installation. The control unit centralizes the operation of these devices, allowing them to function as an integrated whole rather than separate complex systems, thereby improving access control reliability while managing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If turnstiles are used to control passage, then unauthorized entry is prevented, but accessibility for visually impaired or infirm persons may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The turnstiles are designed with differentiated zones and features to accommodate different user needs. The structure includes specific characteristics that facilitate easier passage for visually impaired or infirm persons while maintaining security control for all users. This localized adaptation of turnstile features allows the system to maintain passage control effectiveness while improving accessibility for disabled persons.
4Reliability
If manual verification of identification is used, then accurate authorization control is achieved, but entry and exit speed is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated electronic systems. Magnetic card readers automatically read and verify identification data, and the control unit electronically processes authorization information. This substitution of mechanical/manual verification with electronic automation maintains accurate authorization control while significantly increasing entry and exit speed, thereby improving productivity.

AI summary
The invention relates to light structures for the total video monitoring and the remote control of the system, and for the pre-recording of access badges, characterised in that they include booths to be placed on the ground, or slightly above the ground, that comprise a control or survey room oriented towards the outside and, adjacent thereto, 1 to 7 turnstiles or rotating drums oriented towards the entrance or the exit and arranged on a platform that is optionally covered by protection means and provided with signalling panels.
