About our Access Control
Access Control – Smart Vehicle Management
Our Access Control module enables efficient management of vehicle access in urban areas, based on license plates, vehicle types, or optional ADR plates. It works seamlessly with barriers, gates, retractable bollards, or variable message signs, ensuring safety in school streets, one-way streets, and restricted zones. Integrated whitelists allow priority access for emergency vehicles, public transport, or authorized personnel, while normal traffic is restricted as needed.
Flexible scheduling and customizable rules make it ideal for dynamic environments, such as medieval city centers, tunnels, or special events like markets and festivals. The system also leverages the ANPR camera network for multiple smart mobility applications, allowing cities to adapt quickly to changing needs while maintaining smooth and secure traffic flow.
Access Control empowers cities to keep traffic safe, smooth, and efficient. Give priority access to emergency vehicles, protect school streets, and manage special events seamlessly. Flexible, reliable, and intelligent, this solution helps authorities maintain order, enhance urban safety, and create more liveable, people-friendly streets making city life safer and easier for everyone.
Main Characteristics
1. Intelligent, Rule-Based Urban Access
Macq Access Control manages vehicle access intelligently, not mechanically. Entry rules can be defined by license plate, vehicle type, or optional ADR classification, ensuring the right vehicles enter the right areas at the right time. Emergency services, public transport, and authorized users move freely, while unauthorized traffic is automatically restricted without disrupting urban flow.
Unlike static access systems, Access Control adapts to real urban complexity. Authorities can define time-based rules, recurring schedules, and event-specific permissions for markets, festivals, school streets, or loading zones. One platform seamlessly handles permanent restrictions and temporary exceptions, making cities more responsive and people-friendly.
3. Seamless Integration with Physical Infrastructure
The module works effortlessly with barriers, gates, retractable bollards, tunnels, and variable message signs, automatically triggering actions when authorized vehicles are detected. Existing ANPR camera networks can be reused, maximizing infrastructure value and reducing deployment costs—an advantage over standalone access solutions.
Fully integrated into the M³ platform, Access Control ensures encrypted data handling, high-level access rights, and easy whitelist management. The same camera infrastructure can support multiple smart mobility applications, allowing cities to evolve without reinvesting in new systems. This makes Macq’s solution future-proof, scalable, and uniquely versatile.
