Access Control
Automated barrier systems for connected vehicle access.
Modern barrier infrastructure connected to ANPR, payments and real-time operational logic. Barriers open automatically. Every event is logged.
The Problem
Where manual barrier management breaks down.
Manual Operation Delay
Staffed barriers create a single point of delay and dependency. Every vehicle requires human action to enter or exit.
Unauthorised Access
Without automated enforcement, tailgating and unauthorised entry are difficult to prevent and impossible to audit.
No Event Logging
Manually operated barriers create no access record. Disputes, incidents and overstays cannot be investigated or evidenced.
Isolated Systems
Barriers disconnected from payment and ANPR systems require manual reconciliation and cannot act on operational data.
How It Works
Automated vehicle access. Connected to the full system.
PARQ barriers connect directly to the PARQ platform via I/O dry contact relay output — compatible with any barrier brand or model. Barriers open automatically on ANPR recognition of a known vehicle, confirmed payment or active permit. Every access event is timestamped and logged in real time.
- Barrier opens automatically on ANPR match, payment confirmation or permit validation
- Dry contact relay output — compatible with any existing barrier brand
- Access rules configurable per lane: permit-only, pay-on-exit, time-restricted
- Manual and remote override from the operator dashboard
- Every open and close event logged with timestamp and reason
- Real-time fault monitoring and status alerts via cloud dashboard
Key Capabilities
Infrastructure-grade barrier control for every type of site.
Fast Cycle Time
Open and close cycle completes in under three seconds. Keeps traffic moving at busy entry and exit lanes without queuing.
Any Barrier Compatible
Connects via I/O dry contact relay — the PARQ controller works with any barrier brand without replacement or rewiring.
Anti-crush Safety
Obstacle detection prevents the barrier arm from closing on vehicles or pedestrians. Standard on all PARQ-connected barriers.
Remote Control
Operators can open, close or lock any barrier remotely from the PARQ dashboard — from any location, at any time.
Fault Monitoring
Real-time status reporting. Instant fault alerts sent via dashboard and email when a barrier goes offline or reports an error.
Manual Override
Physical key override and remote lift function for emergency access, maintenance or power failure scenarios.

Connected Infrastructure
Part of one connected parking system
PARQ hardware is designed to work as part of a unified operational ecosystem — not as standalone devices. Every unit connects to the same cloud platform, sharing data and responding to the same operational logic.
