Securing an Airport Carpark Space

Airports are a busy place for controlling traffic. Vehicles and people need to be managed effectively to prevent any incidents from occurring. So when car rental experts Europe Car contacted us about their designated area at Canberra Airport, we knew we were up to the challenge.

Europe Car at Canberra Airport needed to ensure they had a secure, efficient egress pathway to prevent cars from being removed by unauthorised people. With an enormous amount of traffic flowing in and out of their car yard each day, it was important that the system could handle the daily demand.

Firstly, we installed Automatic Security Spikes integrated with the Boom Gate to offer a high level of security. This immediately ensured cars could not be taken by unauthorised people. This solution was installed in preference to a sliding or swing gate, as it allows vehicles to move in and out much more quickly while still maintaining security to the premises.

We then installed a traffic light system to maintain control of the one-way pathway. The safety of both vehicle and pedestrian traffic is important. So the traffic light system reduces the potential for any unwanted incidents. Where there is shared pedestrian and vehicle traffic, traffic lights are necessary.

Radio frequency remote controls were issued to each staff member, to control the Boom gate and Vehicle Spikes. This allows only authorised personnel to control what is happening with the boom gate and vehicle spikes. We installed a security master override keypad to control the unit from the boom gate to let visitors in. Finally, Safety Photo Electric Beams were implemented to prevent the system from closing on any cars.

Europe Car Rental at Canberra Airport are now benefiting from a quality installed traffic control system for their car park. No more unauthorised movements of their vehicles, and no room for incidents in a shared space for vehicles and pedestrians.
