A door operating system including a control unit and at least one sensor device, the system configured to operate a door from a closed state into an opened state. The sensor device is configured to observe an observation area and provide image data to the control unit, which is configured to receive and process the observation image data. Processing the data includes detecting an individual inside the observation area, extracting pose information and/or viewing direction information corresponding to the individual, determining, based on the pose information and/or the viewing direction information, a probability value representing the probability that the individual intends to pass the door, and determining whether the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value, wherein the door operating system operates the door from a closed state in an opened state if the control unit determines that the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value.

Door operating system

An access gate for controlling access of individuals passing through a passageway to an access controlled area comprises a cabinet, bordering the passageway, and a movable barrier, attached to the cabinet and configured to open or close access through the passageway. The access gate further comprises a detector having a detection zone directed to a ground of the passageway. Capturing measurement data of individuals approaching the movable barrier is thereby limited to lower body extremities, including feet of the individuals approaching the movable barrier. An electronic circuit is connected to the detector and configured to determine from the measurement data received from the detector information related to the feet of the individuals approaching the movable barrier, and to detect tailgating of the individuals passing through the passageway, using the feet information.

Access gate

A method for supervising a control area comprising: a first tracking process using UWB detection device(s) and a second tracking process using secondary detection device(s). The first tracking process comprises: executing ultra-wideband transmissions with UWB-enabled authentication device(s); determining successive positions of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s); and determining movement trajectory(s) of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s) within the control area. The second tracking process comprises: detecting occupant(s) within the control area; determining successive positions of detected occupant(s) within the control area; and determining movement trajectory(s) of occupant(s) based on their successive positions. The movement trajectory(s) of the UWB-enabled authentication device(s) are correlated with the movement trajectory(s) of detected occupant(s). Based on the correlation, an association of UWB-enabled authentication device(s) with detected occupant(s) is generated.
