Factors influencing pedestrian throughput in the access section of turnstiles, revolving gates, and swing gates?

  1. Operational efficiency of the access control system (no delay in card reading and sending a control signal to the device).
  2. Familiarity with the access control system and experience in using it (e.g., regular employees of the facility).
  3. Discipline of individuals using the devices and access point, resulting from external factors (e.g., employees entering and exiting a company, people at a ski lift).
  4. Clear information and instructions for using the access control system and passing through turnstiles and revolving gates (e.g., clear instructions describing how to read a ticket or card in the reader and pass through the access section).
  5. Other conditions (e.g., atmospheric precipitation, lighting, fencing, etc.).
