How can the design of turnstiles improve passengers' experience of smooth passage?

Jul 15, 2025

Optimized the mechanical structure and traffic efficiency is higher
Widening the channel and rationally designing the rotational arm
The passage width of the traditional turnstile is limited, and it is very difficult for passengers with a large carry-on bag in hand, strollers, and people sitting on a wheelchair to pass through, which is prone to congestion at the gate. In the optimal design, the size of the channel width shall be increased properly and the size of the channel should be determined reasonably according to the crowd flow and characteristics of the passenger in the respective places. Take the dimensions as an example, when in the large transportation hub (such as the airport, train station), the passage width can be properly widened, more than 900mm, to adapt to the passengers carrying large box; When in so many shopping malls and other transit stations, according to the actual situation, can be set up with different width of the channel, to consider the ordinary passengers and special passengers for passage.
At the same time, importance is also attached to the structure of the revolving arm. Meanwhile, the circular arm is of a simple shape and tends to bump into passengers while rotating. the new rotary gate can use streamline arm to decrease the expending parts and the arms' pinch, and AV lefty place explanation 27 edges,avoiding accidents. Further more, the length and rotation radius of the rotating arm are adjustable, so that the passengers have larger space when it is conveyed, and the interference of the rotating arm is prevented from influencing the conveying speed.
Maximizing the transmission and boost your own rotation speed
The service lifetime of the rotary gate has a significant relation with the working speed and the stability of the rotary gate. The turning system transmission mechanism of the conventional rotary gate may be faced with the problems of a low work efficiency and low rotating speed, and the rotary gate cannot rotate smoothly, so that passenger traffic is blocked. Through using advanced transmission technology, such as, high performance motor, precision reducer and high quality transmission chain, it can enhance the efficiency of transmitting, decrease the losses of energy and make the gate rotary fast and is flexible.
Under the condition of ensuring safety, the rotation speed of the turnstile can be appropriately improved, which can reduce the passage time of the passenger. Yet, it should be mentioned that the rotating speed could not be set too high, since the passengers may fall down without enough time to respond. Intelligent control system is used to automatically adjust the rotating speed of the rotary waist according to the size of pedestrian flow. According to the number of people, the speed can be set as follow: when there are many people, the speed can be adjusted to an appropriate level; when relatively few people enter into gate, it can be adjusted to a lower lever to meet the need of passenger's safety and comfort.
Ascending with intelligent perception technology, for unobstructed through in and out
Perception based on multi sensor fusion
Now, the modern turnstile should install and use the multiple sensors, and to realize the multiple sensor fusing perception (spots) of passenger, that can make to improve passenger discrimination and response speed. In a first aspect, the infrared sensor detects the body temperature of passengers and judges whether the passengers are approaching the gate; in the second aspect, Microwave sensor detects the speed and direction of object movement, accurately determining the passengers' intention of passing or not passing; after the passengers enter the gates, pressure sensor can be. allocated at the bottom of the channel to detect the weight and position of passengers, help judge passengers have passed through the gate.
Because turnstiles combine information from many sensors, the presence and passage status of passengers can be better detected, and opening and closing operations can be performed quickly and accurately. The sensor can detect and send signal in time when the passagers enter into the gate; the control system can receive the signal and issue the command to the gate for opening the passageway; after the passengers have passed completely, the gate should be closed promptly to avoid following-up of the passagers, and also the gate will be broken.
Fusion of a biometric authentication system and a contactless payment system
In order to further enhance the efficient operation of passengers flow, biometrics (e.g., face recognition, fingerprint recognition, etc.) may be employed by the turnstile and implemented couples with the gate, and passengers do not have to carry any documents or cards with them, when the passengers carry out a simple biometric verification before the gate, they can quickly pass through. The biometric authentication technology has the characteristics of a high recognition rate, a low false recognition rate and a strong antifalse capability, however, so that passengers are not required to stand still at the gate for a long time and truly realize a seamless pass, and the stay time of the passengers in front of the gate can be effectively shortened.
Furthermore, turnstiles can be integrated with contactless payment technology. The passengers can pay via a mobile app or any other payment methodologies well before they enter the terminal. Once you pass through the turnstile, the system will automatically read your payment info and confirm your exit. This no-ticket swipe and go payment could avoid passengers' queuing for ticket or swipe, and increasing traffic efficiency a lot.
Enhance human-computer interaction interface and also improves operating convenience.
Clear and easy to use indicator lights + display HinderedRotor
For the rotary turnstile, it needs to be set with visible and intuitive indicator lights and display screens, so the passengers can receive clear indication and status information. Different colors and flashing patterns of indicator lights can display the different status of the gate, including green for passing, red for not passing, yellow for waiting or abnormal condition or the like. The display screen can display prompt information of "please swipe card", "please pass", "insufficient balance" or the like, so that the passengers can understand the operating requirements of the gate and their passage conditions.
Meanwhile, the layout of indicator lights and display screens shall be reasonably arranged, which allows the passengers to observe them from the passage. For instance, apparatus provided in the top or the side of the gate may be mounted with the indicator lamp, and the measurement unit may be installed in the front of the gate at a level suitable for seeing by passengers of various heights.
User friendly operation keys and prompts in voice
Simple and easy-to-understand operation buttons should be appropriate set on the turnstiles which need passengers' active operation, including manual card swiping turnstiles and special channel turnstiles. The labeling of the buttons should be intuitive and brief, possibly both a graphical representation and text to be quickly recognizable by the passengers. For instance a swipe button can be illustrated as a credit card icon and, an emergency call button can be indicated by a red phone icon.
Moreover, the system further can be provided with a voice prompt function, so that when a passenger performs an operation the system outputs voice to feed back to the passenger the operation resultand the subsequent steps. Voice prompts shall be in clear and standard language and at a moderate volume so as not to disturb the passengers. For instance, a successful passenger card swipe will be indicated by the voice prompting "Swipe card successful, please pass", and the failure of a card swipe will be indicated by "Card swipe fail, please swipe again."
Demonstrate humanistic care and attend to special populations
Barrier free access design
For the passage of special categories such as handicaps, elders and pregnant women, a gate turnstile should be provided with the accessible passageway. The open able passage can be designed as a broad passage, the width of the passage can meet the requirements of the width of a wheelchair or a baby carriage, also can be with automatic sensing door or manual sliding door. Special groups may pass through the passageway with the aid of handrails on both sides.
Meanwhile, the ground of passages needed to be accessible shall be the anti slip material, not the slippery to avoid making the special group slip when going through the passages. On the access point of the passage, clear signposts should be placed for guiding the special groups to the reserved passage.
Back up operating sites
Turnstiles can also be turned over to feed one person at a time in the case of passengers who have difficulty with directions or who you may need to monitor closely and have to enter and exit one at a time. For example, providing the visually impaired passengers with the braille word display and voice navigation equipment to assist them in understanding the location, function, and operating state of the rotating gates;Equipping the the hearing-impaired passengers with the vibration warning device which alerts them by vibration of when status of the gate comes off.
The overall optimization of mechanical structure, intelligent sensing technology, human-machine interface, special turnstile use of the special needs, can effectively improve the sense of passengers walking smooth and without fault. The new development is in fine detail and in response to the times, and with the rapid progress of science and technology and the development of their demanding travel experience will continue to be the design of turnstiles progress innovation, to provide more convenient, efficient and comfortable travel services to passengers going to the future.
