Operating a managed, busy parking lot can pose significant challenges; especially where there is limited parking slots are available. Apartments/Residential complexes are normally providing parking facility only to owner’s vehicle and the visitor’s vehicle should be parked outside.
The common pain area in Apartment parking area is to identify the owner’s vehicle.
Security person at the gate need to manually identify the owner and the vehicle. If
identified, the gate will be manually opened for parking the vehicle inside the apartment. This manual identification is a time consuming process and can cause misidentification many times. Security person has to remember the vehicle registrations numbers

Operating a managed, busy parking lot can pose significant challenges;

The common pain area in Apartment parking area is to identify the owner’s
vehicle.
Security person at the gate need to manually identify the owner and the
vehicle. If
identified, the gate will be manually opened for parking the vehicle inside the
apartment. This manual identification is a time consuming process and can
cause misidentification many times. Security person has to remember the

3. The common scenarios at the gates are :
•Most of the time gates are open which leads to entry of all kind of vehicles
inside the premises
• Security guards are ineffective to allow selective vehicles inside the premises
due to lack of proper identification system
www.arumansoft.com
• The system of opening the gate is manual and dependent on the availability of
the guard
• Tailgating: One vehicle follows the other vehicle without proper identification
• Present smart card offers very low read range.
The proposed solution can definitely address and rectify the above
mentioned pain areas.

4. Proposed System
Proposed Intelligent Gate system consists of RFID based cards and long range
RFID readers with a read range of at least 5 to 7 meters. RFID cards will be
fixed on the vehicle windshield which will be encoded with the vehicle identity.
www.arumansoft.com
This will work as a wireless name plate and will transfer the vehicle identity to
the long range reader installed at the gate. Reader will transfer the identity to
the application software and instructs the boom barrier/gate to open or close
accordingly. In case the vehicle is unauthorized, a light or audible alarm can be
generated.
Each authorized vehicles will be
provided with a RFID card encoded
Vehicle Tagging with the vehicle identity. This will
be fixed on the windshield of the
vehicle.

5. Long range RFID reader installed at
the gate reads encoded data on card
and passed to the application
Vehicle Identification software.
Identity of the vehicle will
be verified and open signal will

be send to the boom barrier
On receiving the signal, gate
Automatic Boom will be opened to allow the
barrier functioning authorized vehicle to pass. It
closes automatically when the
vehicle passes the gate.
Application software can
generate different kind of 5

movement of vehicles

8. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC GATE SYSTEM
Quicker Vehicle Identification and access of parking facilities to only
authorized vehicles
Enhanced Security system by allowing only authorized vehicles to enter the
www.arumansoft.com
premises
Zero manual intervention and dependency on human beings
Selective access: The gate can be configured to operate either as exit or
entrance as required and it will not allow the vehicle to enter from unwanted
side.
Software can generate various reports like details of last 10 vehicles
entered, frequency of crossing etc.
