A system and method for self-learning operation of gate paddles is disclosed. Opening and closing of the gate paddles requires timing and other settings to avoid injury and fare evasion. Self-learning allows a machine learning model to adapt to new data dynamically. The new data captured at a fare gate improves the machine learning model, which can be shared the other similar fare gates within a transit system so that learning disseminates.

Electro-mechanical and electronically controlled access devices are described for automatically controlling passage between two areas, and where a plurality of such access control devices may be ganged or clustered to provided additional throughput and directional control, including stacking a plurality of access control devices side by side within a cluster. Each access control device contains multiple rotatable and moveable door panels. The door panels are controlled by various drive mechanisms to enable passage through the device, while ensuring by the use of sensors that door panels avoid touching subjects as they traverse the device. The direction of flow through a device according to these embodiments is electronically controlled and may be changed from time to time. At any instant in time while being traversed, the flow through each device is unidirectional. Multiple devices within a cluster can be directionally controlled according to traffic, demand, time of day, or other factors.

A deterrent sprayer device and system includes a sprayer device disposed through a solid barrier such as a door and one or more cannisters of chemical deterrent such as oleoresin capsicum. A user on one side of the barrier screws a cannister into the sprayer device which pierces the cannister and sprays the chemical deterrent on the other side of the barrier at a potential intruder without having to open the barrier.

An entryway system has at least one door having access hardware on both sides. The access hardware on both sides each have a first handing position that operates a latch and a second handing position that prevents latch operation. In response to a sensed condition, such as a trigger from a metal detector or other sensing device, one or both of the access hardware can be selectively re-handed from the first handing position to the second handing position.

Disclosed is an access control apparatus according to the present invention. The access control apparatus includes: a body located on a passage and having a plurality of support frames; an opening and closing part detachably attached between the plurality of support frames to open and close the passage; and a driving part coupled to the body and the opening and closing part to control an operation of the opening and closing part and having an angle control module for adjusting an opening and closing angle of the opening and closing part and a speed control module for setting an opening and closing speed of the opening and closing part, wherein the driving part controls the opening and closing part so that the opening and closing part is stopped from closing at a given angle through the angle control module.

A secure passageway is described where a subject is required to pass through two or more chambers in order to travel between two areas, typically where one area is secure and the other is not. For a passageway including first and second chambers, three electronically controlled doorways are included: one between the two chambers; one between a first chamber and a first area; and one between the second chamber and a second area. Sensors are included to determine how many subjects have entered a chamber. Sensors are also included to determine if a subject represents a threat. Subjects determined to represent a threat may be detained or encouraged to reverse direction and exit the passageway through the door where they entered. When a subject is determined to represent a threat, an alarm is optionally sounded.

A millimeter wave security check gate is provided, comprising: a gate body; and a top millimeter wave imaging system, comprising: a millimeter wave transceiving antenna array disposed at a top of the gate body, wherein the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array comprises at least one transmitting antenna unit and a plurality of receiving antenna units; and a millimeter wave signal source connected with the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array.

A security revolving door assembly including a revolving door, a controlling unit and a LIDAR sensor. The LIDAR sensor is appropriately disposed in the top or canopy of the revolving door and advantageously directed downwardly into the passage space of the revolving door. In particular, a first LIDAR sensor is centrally disposed in a first quadrant of the canopy, and a second LIDAR sensor is centrally disposed in a third quadrant of the canopy.

A portal apparatus for securely controlling passage is described. The apparatus uses a passageway which includes at least two moveable door panels that operate in conjunction with at least two sidewalls including at least one linear sidewall. The apparatus includes position sensors for tracking a position of a subject passing through the passageway and determining a rate of movement of the subject. While the subject is walking through the passageway, each door panels is controlled to move at the determined rate of movement of the subject.
