UPTO 30 passengers per minute can pass through a new electronic ticket barrier developed by Automatic Revenue Controls Ltd.
The gate accepts a magnetically encoded ticket from the passenger, checks it electronically and returns it to the passenger, releasing the barrier at the same time.
A group of illuminated displays indicate to the passenger what he should do next. Standard lighted displays show "insert ticket"; "enter. , "wait": "remove ticket" and so on.
The gate will "remember" up to four tickets in a row so that tickets presented by passengers before an earlier passenger has operated the barrier will not be rejected.
