A revolving door comprising an at least partly cylindrical shell wall, which is embodied with an entrance and an exit, and two rotatable door wings, which during normal operation are placed in each other's extended direction inside the shell wall, wherein between the shell wall and an end of at least one door wing, which end is movable near and along the shell wall, a sliding door is provided which is suitable for closing off the entrance or exit respectively, and in that during normal operation an end of the door wing is constantly positioned near the sliding door and between its lateral edges, and wherein the sliding door comprises two adjacent separable sliding door parts which in normal operation are connected to each other and are movable away from each other in an emergency situation to provide a free and unobstructed passage way through the entrance or exit respectively.

Methods and systems are disclosed to facilitate a rotary gate controller moving from one state to another in a manner wherein the gate controller uses the state condition to determine if an exit is taking place when an entry request has been sent. Once such an occurrence is determined to exist, the MID will send an exit request allowing the exiting customer to continue through the gate. When the internal state changes to going to a home position, the MID will send a new entry request, and the MID will indicate through MID display that the entering customer can pass through the rotary gate. The original payment of the entering customer will have been accepted and will allow the entering customer to proceed through the gate. On completion of the entry rotation, the rotary gate controller will revert back to free exit and restricted entry states.
