1. Access control system comprising:
- an exchange station (2) that is provided with;
means for duly identified and subscribed offering users to input offered spaces in accordance with the parameters that define their availability, price, size, and location of the space in the facility;
means for duly identified and subscribed requesting users to define a demand for a parking space in accordance with the parameters they select, according to the available supply, regarding geographical location, size, available occupation period and price;
means for electronic processing of the supply and demand, and means to process and assign an encrypted access code AC to a parking demand linked to a free space according to the available supply, and associated with the access system of the parking garage where the space is located;
means for sending the access code AC, the reservation identifier RI and the characteristic information of the reserved space to a subscribed requesting user; and
means for the electronic recording of completed supply and demand operations, as well as any usage incidents, for the billing of garage space exchange services;
an access control device ACD, as a radiofrequency signal transmitter, for the subscribed requesting user, who actuates it, and which is provided with;
means for AC reception;
computing means to decode the AC corresponding to a certain reservation and to verify the validity of the AC in accordance with the reservation made;
means to process and transmit a radiofrequency open signal OS based on the AC, in order to produce an open signal compatible with the access system of the parking garage where the space corresponding to the reservation is located, andmeans for memorizing and replicating ACs normally used by the subscribed requesting user;
a receiver device (13), with;
means of connection to the exchange platform (2);
means for receiving access codes AC, the reservation identifier RI and the characteristic information of the space reserved for a subscribed requesting user by the exchange platform (2);
means for the reception of access codes AC transmitted by an ACD, andcomputing means for decoding the AC received from an ACD and for its verification with the reservation information ACs received from the platform (2), to authorize the opening of the access system of the parking garage where the reserved space is located;
