Automatic Systems, an industry-leading manufacturer of pedestrian and vehicle entrance control access systems, and Double 2021 Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award Winner, has been selected to provide automated parking gates to improve the user experience and make the parking solution contactless at a major multi-purpose arena in Montreal.

The project was initiated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and was designed to replace an inefficient parking management system which was comprised of a single vehicle gate.

This single access lane required in-person supervision with primarily cash payments were accepted.

This pandemic-responsive new project encompassed the installation of a completely new infrastructure including cement islands, new conduits, and new automated vehicle gates.

A Regional Security Integrator, specializing in the implementation of unified security technologies, coordinated this intelligent parking experience featuring Automatic Systems’ ParkPlus BL15 automatic vehicle gate model which works seamlessly with their Parknet integrated smart parking solutions.

Together, they enable a fully automated payment system that provides flexible and contactless payment options for the thousands of spectators that come through the gates.

Over 50 years ago, Automatic Systems marketed its first rising barriers and today, thanks to the company’s experience and wide range of vehicle access control equipment, they have to products and expertise to supply the right solutions with the latest technological developments.

These smart barrier gates, specifically designed for parking revenue installations, ensure authorized user access while preventing the piggybacking, or tailgating of unauthorized vehicles.

The ParkPlus – BL15 model was the ideal solution for the arena’s needs.
