Metric All Set to Launch New AI-Gate Access Control System

The new AI-Gate is an innovative access control system consisting of barrier gates with integrated ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras.

The ANPR system can identify car number plates instantly and permit vehicle access/egress more efficiently as it eliminates the need for various cards, tickets, tokens, or a manned kiosk, thus saving time, money and being more environmentally friendly.

With the combination of the barriers and cameras, the back-office software uses ANPR technology to implement automatic control and management of the parking lot and provides convenient and reliable services for parking management.

As a web-based application, the AI-Gate back-office does not require a special Workstation PC. All you need is a device with a standard web browser and a TCP-IP connection to the server. This can be through a LAN or WLAN.

This basic solution can be applied to a variety of non-payment parking situations, including hospitals, schools, businesses, or private car parks.

All these features include:

• ANPR camera
• Light sensor and IR flood light
• Barrier with inbuilt protection
• Intercom
• Handheld remote control for support staff
• Radar detection of a vehicle passing
• Option for vehicle loop detection
• LH and RH versions
• This makes for a very versatile solution that can be tailored to suit the numerous demands for ever-changing parking solutions in the foreseeable future.

The AI-Gate back-office features:

• Permit management
• Remote barrier control
• Intercom to speak with drivers
• ANPR camera monitoring
• System reporting
• Dashboard statistic.

The AI Gate also has the option of being linked to the Metric suite of parking payment terminals offering contactless or cash payment solutions if required, adding vehicle plates to the permit list for the duration of the transaction purchased.
