During the holiday season, crowded car parks are the norm. It can be difficult to control the inward and outward flow of traffic in a car park, but modern security solutions can make the task substantially easier. AST London highlights four technologies that can help you keep a tidy car park with steady traffic flow – even in the midst of the festive rush.

Modern Security Solutions for Holiday Traffic

1. Advanced Security Cameras

Security cameras, combined with cloud-based monitoring, can help you maintain a bird’s eye view over your entire facility. Modern surveillance tools include HD cameras, thermal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom cameras and license plate recognition cameras. These help to maintain wide coverage of the entire area, as well as detailed surveillance of all activities.

2. Automated Gates

Automated gates help to control the flow of traffic into and out of the car park. They can be controlled through a ticketed payment system or by security staff manning the gates, or through the use of sensors.

3. Automated Barriers or Bollards

Automated barriers work in a similar way to automated gates, but may be more suitable for your car park if you need an elegant, cost-effective solution. They help to control the flow of traffic throughout your car park. You could even install multiple traffic barriers on the same premises and have them work in sync to ensure more efficient traffic flow.

4. Deterrence Measures

In addition to monitoring and access control, you also need tools that will enable you actively to deter criminal activity in your car park. Digital signage can help with this, displaying warnings about surveillance and the risk of criminal prosecution. You could even use active voice down elements, communicating with visitors through loud-speaker announcements and verbal warnings , advising all visitors, particularly suspicious individuals, that they are being watched.

These four technologies, when used together, can help to maintain a secure and efficient car park.
