University Turnstile Access System
- Question: What is turnstile?
Answer: A turnstile, also called a baffle gate, is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It can also be made so as to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or similar. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of paid access (sometimes called a faregate when used for this purpose), for example public transport as a ticket barrier or a pay toilet, or to restrict access to authorized people, for example in the lobby of an office building.

Answer: Turnstiles are commonly use in Mass Transit Stations, Exhibition Venues, Airports/Seaports, School/Universities, Market/Malls, Amusement Parks, Corporate Offices, etc.
- Question: Why do we need turnstiles?
Answer:From a business/revenue standpoint, turnstiles give an accurate, verifiable count of attendance.
From a security standpoint, they lead patrons to enter single-file, so security personnel have a clear view of each patron. This enables security to efficiently isolate potential trouble or to confiscate any prohibited materials. They can, on the other hand, become a serious safety issue when a speedy evacuation is needed.
