An access control method in an access control system that comprises at least one access control device with an antenna (). Verification of an access authorization is based on analysis of a beacon transmitted by a first wireless communication standard. The beacon contains an ID to which a unique identifier (TID) of the data carrier and a unique beacon ID of the data carrier () transmitting the beacon is assigned. The unique identifier and unique beacon ID allows positive beacon identification. The identification and localization of the data carriers () is realized by analyzing the RSSIs of the transmitted beacons. The unique beacon IDs ensure that the RSSI values of the same respective beacon of a data carrier () are used in the course of the RSSI analysis. The closest data carrier () is determined, during the RSSI analysis, and the transmitted ID is analyzed to grant access.

Access control method for persons and vehicles and system for carrying out the method

A method for identification of vehicles () for operating a car park or a parking area is proposed in the course of which a vehicle () is identified at least by the sound profile emitted by the drive train of the vehicle which comprises a vehicle drive unit in the acoustic wave and/or ultrasonic range in at least one speed range.

Method for identification of vehicles for operating a car park or a parking area

A method of monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system by a first method, the data carriers or the mobile electronic devices, on which a valid access authorization or an ID is assigned, are detected and the carriers/devices current positions are determined by trilateration or multilateration. A second imaging method is executed, parallel to the first method, and the current position of all persons presented in the entry area is detected by cameras. All persons, with and without valid access authorization, in the entry area are detected so that an ID map and a people map are created. The ID map corresponds to people who have valid access authorization and the people map corresponds everybody in the entry area. An overlay map is created by matching the ID map with the people map, to identify persons with valid access authorization or ID and the people without valid access authorization.

Method for monitoring access authorizations by an access monitoring system

A method for access control wherein verification of access authorization is effected by evaluating an ID sent at regular intervals from a mobile electronic device or a data carrier nearest an access control device (), via bluetooth low energy standard as part of a 'broadcasting', to which at least one access authorization is unequivocally assigned, which is received by BLE transceiver units (TRX-TRX-TRX-TRX-) connected to a computer comprising a CPU and storage located within range of the mobile electronic device or the data carrier. Localization of the mobile electronic devices or the data carriers is carried out by evaluation of the RSSI, wherein the signal strength is measured, with which that signal of a mobile electronic device or a data carrier is received, which contains the ID of BLE transceiver units (TRX-TRX-TRX-TRX-).

Method and system for access control

In a method for operating a vehicle barrier () having a barrier column (), a barrier arm () and a drive mechanism for pivoting the barrier arm () between a blocking position and an open position, a camera () is used for vehicle recognition, for the license plate recognition, for recognizing a following vehicle and for monitoring for vandalism, and the images thereof are evaluated by an electronic evaluation logic that is coupled to control of the vehicle barrier ().

Method for operating a vehicle barrier

A system for detecting customer media comprising an RF transceiver in a public transport conveyance is proposed, where the system for each passenger compartment or car includes a number of reading devices, which are interconnected and connected to an on-board unit for the purpose of data communication, where the entire interior of passenger compartment or car is covered by a number of reading devices, where the reading devices are arranged in such a manner that any two reading devices are provided on opposite lateral walls of the passenger compartment or car, which cover the room up to the opposite wall, where each two reading units are arranged in the roof area or floor area symmetrically around the central longitudinal axis of the passenger compartment or vehicle, where the detection range of the respective two reading devices is substantially identical and substantially covers the entire width of the passenger compartment or car in the floor area or roof area, where the floor area or the roof area is covered considered axially along a pre-specified length.

System for the detection of customer media comprising an RF transceiver in a public transport conveyance

A method and system for providing location-based services are proposed, wherein the objective is the determination of the authorization of a person to use location-based services using non-contact detection and the evaluation of media information from a customer medium, whereby the location of the customer medium is carried out based on the detection of the medium and where the media information of the customer medium is recorded based on an automatically implementable non-contact interaction between at least one reading device assigned one location and connected to computer and the customer medium, if the customer medium is within the range least one reading device, where the customer medium comprises an RF transceiver and communicates with the computer via at least one reading device in a predetermined frequency range, where location-based services are provided cases of a valid authorization, the provision of which depends on the detection of the customer medium via at least one reading device assigned to the location, and where the customer medium is controlled by a computer via least one reading device in such a manner that the energy consumption of the customer medium is minimized.

Method and system for providing location-based services

A method for continuous determination of a person's presence in a public transport conveyance is proposed, where a customer medium comprising an RF transceiver is assigned to the person, where at least one reading device per passenger compartment or car is provided for data communication with the customer media in the conveyance, which is connected to a computer serving as an on-board unit for the purpose of data communications, where these are also connected to each other in the case that several reading devices are provided, where an on-board unit serving as the main on-board unit is assigned to a passenger compartment or car if several passenger compartments or cars are present, and the other passenger compartments or cars are assigned to on-board units serving as secondary on-board units, which are connected to the main on-board unit for the purpose of data communication, where the customer medium is in a 'sleep' mode upon entering the transport in order to keep energy consumption as low as possible.

Method for continuous detection of a persons presence on public transportation

A turnstile personnel access-control device () has one or more blocking arms () connected to a drive element () mounted on a carrier () such that the blocking arms are rotatable about a main axis or shaft (). The blocking arms () assume a blocking position and at least one free position in dependence upon the rotation of the drive element (). Each blocking arm () includes a flat component () that is mounted to rotate about a longitudinal axis () thereof in dependence upon the rotation of the drive element (). In the blocking position of the blocking arms (), one such flat component assumes a pre-defined angular position with respect to the vertical, whereas in the free position, this flat component () is rotated such that passage of a person is allowed.
