A pedestrianisation scheme is primarily designed for the safety of pedestrians circulating within an area dedicated to pedestrian use at certain times of the day. It is therefore important that general vehicles can’t access these areas while the scheme is in force. Generally, a combination of fixed bollards and automatic rising bollards are used to prevent vehicles from gaining access to the area. However, there must be a means of allowing emergency vehicles to gain access, and it may be necessary for buses and/or delivery vehicles to circulate within the area. An intercom linked to the control centre combined with remote control of the rising bollards is usually enough to manage delivery vehicle access. However, emergency vehicles and buses need to pass in and out of the area with minimal delay.
Nortech provides a system using Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) together with access control to allow the authorised vehicles to be identified as they approach the rising bollards so that they can drop to let the vehicles through without the need to come to a standstill.
We work with many leading manufacturers of rising bollards and rising curbs. Please Request Information to find out what our system can do for your scheme.
