Conclusion
Tripod turnstiles and speed gates both have their advantages and disadvantages. The choice of an effective access control system will depend on end users’ unique security and access control needs.
 
This is why Evolve recommends that at the design stage, the specifier seek advice from the equipment manufacturer or its distributor.


It is particularly important for the equipment specifier to establish predicted user characteristics and precise user requirements such as: -

  • The volume of pedestrian traffic at different times of the day.

  • The type of pedestrian traffic, such as the elderly, the infirm, disabled persons, parents with pushchairs and young children.

  • The level of security required.

  • If users are wearing high visibility clothing.


The specifier must also consult with other relevant authorities such as fire, building control and the owner/occupier.
