When choosing a car park barrier, consider vehicle traffic, entrance width, control method and site layout together. Positioning a barrier to suit the traffic flow helps manage vehicle entry and exit.
Choosing a Car Park Barrier: Traffic Levels and Site Planning overview
Traffic capacity and boom length
Choose a boom that suits the entrance width and check the clearance required for its movement. Daily vehicle numbers and peak-time traffic help determine the system configuration.
Access control
Remote controls, card readers, number-plate recognition or attendant operation can be assessed against the site’s security procedures. Vehicle detection and safety equipment should be considered in the project design.
Site survey
Review the mounting surface, power supply, vehicle approach angle and pedestrian routes on site. This helps ensure the barrier position and control equipment fit the traffic plan.
