Securing mass transportation presents many challenges, including a large number of people, a constantly changing population of passengers, and hundreds of entry and exit points. Mass transit agencies require rugged and durable barrier solutions that can handle those challenges, while requiring minimal maintenance. In many cases, the right solution is waist-high tripod turnstiles or full height turnstiles and gates that are constructed of steel. Facilities wanting a more aesthetically pleasing solution can install security speed gates with a glass sliding panel or other resilient material.

Controlling Crowd Numbers During and after a Pandemic

Having control over the number of people in large, public spaces has become part of our new-world. The Corona Crisis has had a lasting impact on how we travel. Security entrances, such as waist-high turnstiles, can count the number of people exiting or entering a mass transit terminal, which helps staffed entrances to cope with a large numbers of authorised commuters who have to enter or leave a secured area in a short space of time. 

These entrance systems are designed to slow down and organise the entry point, while also serving as visual deterrents to potential infiltrators and preserving a relatively open appearance for travellers with a valid ticket. Being on-time is crucial for travellers, so good flow of people though a secured area is very important - reducing their stress and creating a better user experience.

A Controlled Interior Climate for Comfort and Sustainability

The front entrance to mass transit facilities also plays an important role in moving people into this environment safely and comfortably. High capacity revolving doors cope well with large volumes of travellers and their spacious door segments can give people a feeling of space and well-being in times of social distancing. Revolving doors contibrute considerably to the optimisation of the internal heating or cooling cost of the facilities interior. Train and bus terminals can be enormous, so having a buffer to both keep the traveller comfortable and save energy is a great advantage.
