Airport vehicular gate entry access system
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. An automated access control system for securing airport vehicular gates and airport sterile areas comprising:
- a standardized credential reader means for reading a credential encoded with personal identification to be used at entry point into the airport sterile areas and automatically collects data to build individual real time records;
a software application for recovering information from the standardized credential reader, wherein one or more of the following processing is performed;
real time records are checked searching for a credential collected information match;
individual suspicious status is checked against a security list stored in a system database;
employee records are checked to determine if the individual is an employee;
the type of entry, visitor, employee, contractor, supplier, or vendor, is determined; and
admission is processed as entry or re-entry of the individuals,an ID authenticator, wherein a credential to be authenticated is presented, a credential physical aspect and embedded security features are analyzed to determine the possibility of any tempering or forgery and provide an authenticity risk rating, said ID authenticator comprises means to read non-encoded credentials, whereas said ID authenticator generates an authentication data record comprising presented credential information and authentication rating,a central processing unit for receiving information from the standardized credential reader and the ID authenticator;
wherein, upon a credential reading, the automated access control system automatically determines the source of the credential data record, and automatically extracts personal information to be checked against a security list, TSA NO-FLY list, SELECTEE list, other alternative credentials;
whereas upon the credential authentication, the automated access control system automatically extracts authentication information from the authentication data record, and subsequently displays a warning window, as a result of the individual credentials match and ID forgery risks rating contained in the authentication data record.
