Abstract
An access control device is for a door of a vehicle. The access control device has: an actuation element with an actuator, the actuation element being controllably configured to be brought from a blocking state into a release state and vice-versa; a power supply interface, which is configured to supply the access control device with power; a controller, which is configured to carry out open-loop and/or closed-loop control of a state of the actuation element; and a near-field communication interface, which is configured to read out a digital access authorisation and to transmit the digital access authorisation to the controller. The controller is configured to carry out the open-loop and/or closed-loop control of the state of the actuation element in accordance with a validity of the digital access authorisation. The power supply interface is configured such that a portable energy store is connectable without the use of tools.
