Facilities such as airports and bus and train stations have a very high daily flow of people, which is a major challenge when managing all accesses to the facility. Therefore, it is crucial to adapt to all kinds of needs, offering users the greatest possible flexibility and ease of use, while maintaining the highest levels of security.
In facilities of this type it is essential to control and manage access to the different areas for both staff and passengers. An access control system uses a high-level encrypted identification technology that carries out checks and gives access only to authorised personnel. The status of the door and the authorised accesses can be monitored from a central station and all the permits and user accesses to all types of restricted areas managed from a central computer. In addition, long-lasting products that can withstand frequent use must be installed.
In premises with a high flow of people who are not familiar with the installations, emergency exits have to ensure quick and simple evacuation in emergency situations, without compromising the perimeter security of the entrances to the building. Panic bars are an example of a product that ensures the safety of people and property in any type of situation.
In doors with high traffic such as toilets, offices inside the building, etc., it is advisable to employ components that guarantee the proper functioning of the doors, both in the opening – making this simple and easy for all types of user, including those with reduced mobility – and in the closure, always ensuring that this preserves the security of the installation. An example of this are door closers, a solution that prevents any door from remaining open and also makes the door opening smooth without generating any type of resistance.
In areas with high traffic of people such as airports and train stations, doors and door hardware are among the most commonly touched surfaces. Cleaning and disinfecting them frequently is the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs. But at the same time, at TESA ASSA ABLOY innovative solutions have been developed in response to the need to find ways to open and close doors without having to use our hands, through minimal contact or even contactless openings.
