The smart way in: innovations in vehicle access control management

Urbanization and technological progress have forced us to reimagine security and convenience in modern living. This is particularly evident in the vehicle access control market, which is experiencing significant growth.

According to Markets and Markets, the global vehicle access control market is going to surge from USD 10.8 billion in 2020 to USD 22.6 billion by 2027. 

One reasons why traditional access methods are being forced to evolve is the rise in the number of vehicles per household. This creates a demand for robust systems that are able to manage entry and exit efficiently in order to reduce congestion and, therefore, resident frustration.

 

But it’s not just about quantity – it’s also about quality. 

For example, a white paper from the Association for Smarter Homes Buildings (ASHB), observed that residents today expect a frictionless living experience. Waiting in line to scan cards or having to buzz in guests individually no longer meets these expectations. What’s more, as  Markets and Markets  highlights, there is a growing need for streamlined operations that cater to residents and visitors alike, ensuring quick and secure access without manual intervention.

 

Moreover, like many parts of society, residential complexes are under pressure to become more sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint.

A US Department of Energy report reveals that personal-vehicle idling wastes about 3 billion gallons of fuel, generating around 30 million tons of

CO2 annually in the US alone. Efficient access systems can help minimize idling and reduce energy consumption.

Beyond the barrier: innovations in vehicle access control

The good news is that technological advancements offer effective solutions to these challenges, bringing efficiency, enhanced experience, and sustainability.

 

Smart barrier gates integrated with ANPR cameras 

These combine Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) with intelligent barrier systems and radar sensors to accurately detect and control vehicle movements. ANPR cameras automatically recognize and verify vehicle number plates, allowing registered vehicles to enter without manual intervention. This accelerates traffic flow and lightens the workload for facility managers. These systems also provide valuable data collection capabilities, enabling better traffic flow optimization and enhancing the resident experience. Safety features such as anti-fall, anti-collision, and automatic lift functions ensure the safety of residents and their vehicles.
