I. Core Gate Types and Application Scenarios

  1. Tri-Barrier Gates

    • Structure‌: Three rotating bars with a 0.5-meter passage width; response time: 2-3 seconds‌
    • Application‌: Standard subway station channels; cost-effective and highly durable, accounting for >70% of subway gates in China‌
    •  
  2. Flap Gates (Wide Passage)

    • Design‌: 0.9-meter fan-shaped door with triangular structure for bulky luggage/strollers‌
    • Special Function‌: Supports free passage for disabled veterans (manual override by staff) 
  3. Swing Barriers (Next-Gen)

    • Upgrade‌: Rectangular door design increases throughput by 30%; anti-tailgating via unidirectional infrared sensors‌
    • Safety‌: Auto-locks upon reverse intrusion; clamping force ≤2kg‌
  4. Normally Open Mode Gates (Pilot Innovation)

    • Operation‌: Gates remain open; green arrow display post card-scan enables frictionless transit‌
    • Pilot Cities‌: Shanghai (Zhanghuabang Station), Guangzhou (2024 launch); 40% peak-hour efficiency gain

II. Evolution of Smart Recognition Tech

  1. Multi-Modal Verification

    • Baseline‌: RFID cards 
    • Extensions‌:
      • Mask-compatible facial recognition‌
      • QR codes 
  2. Anti-Conflict Protocol

    • Manual deactivation needed when physical card conflicts with facial recognition‌
    • Foreign card payment systems use isolated channels‌

III. System Integration & Safety

  1. Triple Anti-Pinch Tech

    • Infrared monitoring + mechanical rebound + electromagnetic cutoff‌
    • Passage detection error <0.1s; tailgating ID rate >99.8%‌
  2. Smart Management

    • Crowd Control‌: SuiTeng OS analyzes carriage density for real-time (diversion)‌
    • Emergency Mode‌: Auto-switch to open mode during fires/earthquakes; manual override buttons‌
    • Security Synergy‌: Gates integrated with AI (security gates) for suspicious behavior alerts

IV. Maintenance Optimization

Failure Type Solution
Valid card rejection Check power module/reboot auth chip
QR code delay Clean sensors/adjust IR sensitivity
Communication failure Test 485 bus shorts/replace comms module
False anti-tailgate alerts Calibrate IR angles/optimize algorithm‌

Deployment Note‌: Card readers >30cm from metal objects; separate power/data cables (>20cm spacing)‌.


V. Future Development

  • Frictionless Passage‌: Biometric-payment integration.
  • Modular Upgrades‌: "Normally Open Mode" via software.
  • Smart O&M‌: Self-diagnostic systems with real-time fault alerts.
