Touchless turnstiles are a kind of turnstile gate that people can realize traffic management without contacting any access control management equipment. The touchless turnstile is equipped with Laser scanner , also known as Lidar sensor. When people approach the turnstile gate, the Lidar will automatically detect pedestrians and give the turnstile gate a signal to open the gate. This touchless turnstile is a popular access control management product, widely used in supermarkets, warehouse management, and other entrances and exits.

    2D turnstile gate detection lidar is a detection device that utilizes single line laser  scanning technology. Compared with commonly used infrared sensor detection technology in the market, Lidar detection has higher accuracy, larger detection range, and easy installation and deployment advantages.

    Lidar can be set up three monitoring areas through the upper computer software, which are used as gate opening, anti-pinch, and closing areas. When personnel pass through, the output signals of the three areas are triggered in sequence, thereby achieving the effect of opening, anti pinch, and closing the door. 

    G-TEK LMO series laser lidar sensor is one 2D laser radar which are widely used as obstacle avoidance purpose at equipment such as AGV, RGV, Stacker crane, hoisting and lifting cranes . Owing to its high cost performance , the application at turnstile gate is becoming more and more popular. The following is a set of LMO LiDAR application cases in swing gate.

    The basic applications of the above 2D LiDAR are mainly in swing gates or single swing products, and many turnstiles manufacturers are actively exploring the use of LiDAR to achieve more functions. For example, the detection of pedestrian traffic events in the passage area has been added, achieving core functions such as passage detection, reverse detection, anti pinch detection, crossing detection, detention detection, tailgating detection, and pedestrian counting.

    The increasing demand for 2D lidar sensor functions has put forward more requirements for the design of lidar products. As a leading company in sensor solutions for the optical turnstiles gate industry, G-TEK Sensor is actively improving and perfecting the functions of existing laser radar products. In the near future, a highly adaptable lidar product will better serve the access control market such as pedestrian turnstiles,barrier gate.,etc
