Description
Access Control Apparatus and Method The present invention relates to an access control apparatus for personnel, and to a method of controlling access by personnel, and is concerned particularly, although not exclusively, with an apparatus for assisting social distancing in commercial or industrial premises, and with a method for the same.
When a population of individuals is experiencing an outbreak of disease requiring spatial separation of those individuals it may be necessary to limit the number of people entering premises, such as commercial premises. Gate or barrier systems, such as turnstiles, are used to control access to premises, such as sporting or cultural venues. However, this type of access control barrier is required to be robust so that the venue can prevent access for those who have not paid. Because of this, they are usually expensive and so constitute permanent installations. In contrast, social distancing policies are intended for the benefit of a compliant population who do not need to be kept from entering premises, but instead require only guidance as to when it is safe to enter. Moreover, a controlled access system using barriers for this purpose should be relatively inexpensive, easy to install and remove and must be capable of being quickly bypassed in the event of an emergency.
Embodiments of the present invention aim to provide a personnel access control system and method in which at least some of the aforementioned drawbacks with previously 33 considered systems are addressed.
The present invention is defined in the attached independent claims, to which reference should now be made. Further, preferred features may be found in the sub-claims appended thereto.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided access control apparatus for controlling access by personnel to a space, the apparatus comprising at least one deployable barrier, arrangeable at an access gateway of the space, and a controller for controlling the deployment of the barrier wherein the barrier comprises a barrier arm configured for movement between a first, stowed position, and a second, deployed position and wherein, when in the second position, the barrier arm is arranged to extend across a substantial part of the access gateway.
Preferably, the apparatus includes at least one sensor arranged in use to detect movement of a person out of the space.
Preferably the controller is arranged in use to control deployment of the barrier in response to the sensor detecting movement of a person out of the space.
The apparatus may comprise a plurality of deployable barriers 30 within the space, the barriers being positionable at access points or gates to one or more regions within the space.
The apparatus may comprise a plurality of sensors. One or more of the sensors may be arranged to communicate 35 electronically and/or optically, optionally wirelessly, with the controller and/or one or more of the barriers.

The invention may include any combination of the features or limitations referred to herein, except such a combination of features as are mutually exclusive, or mutually inconsistent.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows, schematically, a system for personnel access control in commercial premises; Figure 2 is a front perspective view of a barrier for use in the system of Figure 1, in a stowed configuration; and Figure 3 shows the barrier of Figure 2 in an operational configuration.
Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a supermarket premises 35 100 in which social distancing of personnel within the premises is assisted by apparatus and a method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of Figure 1, the premises comprise retail premises, such as a supermarket, though the invention is 10 equally applicable in other types of premises, including commercial, industrial and leisure premises.
At an entrance 110 a person P waits by a barrier 120a. Arrows indicate a route which persons P are required to follow once they gain access to the supermarket. The route takes the persons along various aisles past display cabinets 130. The uppermost display cabinet 130 is shown in broken lines to indicate that the number depicted is arbitrary. In reality, there would likely be many more. Beyond the final cabinet 130 is another barrier 120b and beyond that are checkout terminals 140 (points of sale) each of which has an operative 0 who is facilitating the sale. Each checkout terminal 140 has a further barrier 120c.
After passing through the checkout terminal, the person must walk across a footfall sensor 150 which detects the movement of the person leaving the store. Screens 160, indicated by broken lines, are used to ensure that shoppers are kept separate from the operatives.
A control system (not shown) preferably including an electronic controller, controls operation of the barriers between a deployed state, in which the barrier extends substantially across the path of a person, and a stowed state in which the barrier is withdrawn to allow a person unfettered access beyond. The footfall sensor is arranged in use to send a signal to the controller to indicate that a person has left, or is about to leave, the store or a region of the store. The sensor may comprise one or more of a number of devices, including but not limited to: a pressure sensor for detecting a person's step, a light, laser or other beam detector (or indeed a barrier arm apparatus as described herein) arranged to detect when a person breaks the beam, and/or a motion tracker, such as a camera system. When this happens, the controller may open the barrier 120a at the entrance (or other region) to allow another person into the store/region. A similar sensor at the entrance (not shown) may allow the system to count the number of persons who have entered the store, so that an agreed maximum number may be maintained.
Similarly, when a person completes a checkout operation at a terminal, the barrier 120c at that terminal may be opened along with the barrier 120b. This allows control of both the total number of persons P within the store and also allows control of the progress of those persons once they are inside, so as to reduce the risk that persons will encroach upon one another, thereby compromising the social distancing policy of the store.
The barriers themselves need not physically prevent the passage of a person, as social distancing in any case requires a degree of compliance from the persons using the store. Their purpose is merely to indicate when progress may be made safely. Because of this it is possible to use barriers that are light in weight and which may readily be pushed aside in the event of an emergency, in order not to impede a swift exit.
An example of such a safety barrier device 120 is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The device 120 comprises a housing 1100 which is configured for mounting on a post 1200 using a mounting plate 1300. The mounting plate 1300 comprises a mounting portion, for example including apertures 1350 for use with fixing devices, such as screws or bolts (not shown) to secure the device 120 to the post 1200. It will be appreciated that the housing may be secured to the post using an adhesive or other suitable means.
The barrier comprises an inflatable arm 1400 that may be inflated by an inflating device, such as a pneumatic supply (not shown), and which includes a number of inflation channels 1450. Between the inflation channels 1450 is a recoil mechanism, which may be a constant force spring 1500 inserted into a channel in the barrier arm. When an inflation pressure is maintained in the channels 1450 the recoiling force of the spring 1500 is overcome, ensuring that the arm is extended as shown. However, the arm 1400 is kept in a retracted, rolled up configuration (not shown) when no other force acts upon it.
Figure 2 shows the device 120 in a partially deployed configuration. The barrier arm 1400 moves away from the housing 1100 in the direction of arrow A and uncoils as indicated by arrow b, when the device 120 is activated. The inflation of the inflation channels 1450 overcomes the retracting force of the constant force spring 1500, causing the barrier arm 1400 to be deployed.
The housing 1100 comprises one or more openings (not shown) for connection to a pneumatic system (not shown). The pneumatic system may be a separate system which may be common to all the barriers 120 at the site or may be dedicated, self-contained apparatus installed locally at the individual barrier. One or more compressors (not shown) may be utilised for this purpose. A typical operating pressure for the inflatable arms is in the region of 0.8 bar.
The pneumatic system may include one or more valves, such as solenoid or other suitable valves, which are able to seal air inside the inflation channel(s). The valves may be latched/maintained so that no power is needed to maintain the barrier in a deployed/operable configuration.
The inflation channels 1450 extend along the length of the barrier arm 1400, and when inflated overcome the retracting force of the recoil mechanism. The position of the inflation channels 1450 allows for space on the barrier arm 1400 to be used for other features to improve visibility. For example, the space between the inflation channels 1450 may be used for the spring 1500 of the recoil mechanism. Other means of increasing the visibility of the device may be placed in these spaces, and/or around the periphery of the barrier arm 1400. For example, the spaces may carry illumination or fluorescent elements 1600. For better visibility flashing lights, such as light emitting diodes, may be used.
The inflation channels 1450 themselves may act as light guides. In this embodiment, the housing 1100 may comprise an illumination element (not shown), such as a light, which is arranged to shine through the barrier arm 1400.
The barrier arm may also include display space, for example above, below or on or between the channels 1450, on which a message may be displayed. The physical positioning of the barrier and also its high visibility, lend themselves to the displaying of messages. The message may be a safety notice directed at personnel using the premises or may, for example, include a commercial message, such as an advertisement.
The barrier may comprise a single post and arm, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, or may comprise a pair of such barriers 20 working in synchronism, as shown schematically in Figure 1 at 120a.
In the event of an emergency, for example requiring immediate evacuation of the premises, the pressure in the arm 1400 may be released, causing the arm to retract quickly to a stowed configuration. In any event, the barrier arm 1400 is a lightweight structure that can easily be pushed back by a person requiring passage past the barrier.
Optionally an alarm device (not shown) may be attached to the barrier to detect when the arm 1400 has been forced in its deployed condition. A control system (not shown) may monitor the state and performance of the barriers.
In use, the barriers would remain open if the number of people inside the premises was less than the permitted number, as counted by the system. When maximum occupancy is reached, the barriers deploy indicating that there is to be no further admittance to the premises. As a person leaves the store via the exit, the barrier at the entrance would open to allow the next person in, before closing again, thus maintaining acceptable levels of people within the controlled environment.
There may be a plurality of sensors within or adjacent the premises and the or each sensor may be arranged to communicate electronically and/or optically, optionally wirelessly, with the controller and/or one or more of the barriers. The controller is preferably arranged to communicate electronically and/or optically, optionally wirelessly, with one or more of the barriers.
The barrier may be powered by mains electricity or by one or more batteries. A charging port (not shown) may be provided, 25 optionally on the post, for connection to a source of electrical power for charging the one or more batteries.
The barrier may be portable, and may comprise one or more wheels at the base of the post, optionally with one or more counterweights to ensure that the barrier remains upright when in use. One or more handles may be provided on the barrier to facilitate its movement.
The barrier may include one or more visual indicators, such as lights, more preferably coloured lights, such as green 35 and red lights for example, and/or illuminated signs indicating e.g. GO or WAIT, ENTER or DO NOT ENTER, or similar which may conveniently be located on or beside the post and/or on the arm(s), in order to confirm to a user whether he or she ought to approach or pass the barrier or whether he or she ought to wait.
One or more sensors may be used to determine whether a person has approached and/or passed through a barrier and may include one or more of several types, including but not limited to: proximity sensor, infra-red, thermal, visual (camera), movement sensor.
The barrier may include an electronic display for providing information to a manager and/or a user, such as but not limited to: a person count, an expected or average waiting time, statistical information regarding usage of the barrier and/or occupancy of the space, operational data including level of battery charge, fault and/or wear indications, connectivity including network information.
As indicated above, the barriers may be utilised in controlling personnel access to premises or to a part of premises, such as an aisle of a store, or a facility within a building. To this end, the barrier(s) may be freestanding or may be wall-mounted or mounted on another fixture, such as an article of furniture or a machine.
The barriers may include connection portions (not shown) for connection to other types of personnel control apparatus, such as tapes/ropes-and-post systems.
The barrier may be able to communicate electronically with one or more other barriers, for example forming a network, and/or with a controller. The barrier may be provided with a communications interface, for this purpose. The barrier(s) may be communicatively connected wirelessly.
The operation of the barrier may be automated, so that the barrier opens automatically when the system detects that it is safe and desirable for a person to pass. However, the barrier may optionally be made to open and/or close upon the instigation of an operative, for example by actuating a control on the barrier manually or by remote control using a wired or wireless device which can provide an electronic control signal to the barrier.
A sanitizing device, such as a dispenser of sanitizing material (e.g. a dispenser of sanitizing liquid or gel) may conveniently be mounted on the barrier, for example on the post, for use by persons as they approach or pass through the barrier.
The barrier arm may be a removable/replaceable component which may for example be in the form of a cartridge or cassette and which may be detached and replaced from the post as necessary, for example in the event of damage/wear or malfunction.
The dimensions of the barrier may be chosen to suit the intended use, but an example of a freestanding barrier for use in retail premises would include a post approximately 35 1.1m high with an inflatable arm positioned at approximately 835m from the base and projecting approximately.735m from the post in fully deployed configuration.
The term "stowed" is used herein to mean non-deployed or in a configuration in which the arm does not extend 10 substantially across an access.
Whilst endeavouring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance, it should be understood that the applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features referred to herein, and/or shown in the drawings, whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
