Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices, including program instructions, are provided for displaying information on a gate system. One embodiment includes a processor and a memory associated with a vehicle gate system. Program instructions are storable on the memory and executable by the processor to display target audience information.

Claims

1. A vehicle gate system, comprising:

a gate control mechanism;

a gate connected to the gate control mechanism; and

a cover having a first surface with printing directed to a targeted audience using the gate system; and

a fastener coupled to the cover, wherein the fastener provides a releasable, secure connection to the gate.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the gate is a crossbar and the cover includes an elongate body with a first end to receive the crossbar.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the fastener includes an opening through the elongate body adjacent the first end, and wherein the opening through the elongate body receives a lock member to provide the releasable, secure connection to the crossbar.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the cover includes one or more additional fasteners coupled to the cover.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the fastener is selected from the group of:

a hook and loop mechanism;

a bolt;

a key lock;

a clamp;

a strap; and

a cable.

6. A vehicle gate system, comprising:

a gate control mechanism;

a crossbar connected to the gate control mechanism; and

a cover having a first surface with printing directed to a targeted audience using the gate system, wherein the cover includes an elongate body with a first end to receive the crossbar; and

one or more fasteners coupled to the cover, wherein the one or more fasteners provide a releasable, secure connection to the gate.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a hook and loop mechanism.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a bolt.

9. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a key lock.

10. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a clamp.

11. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a strap.

12. The system of claim 6, wherein the fastener is a cable.

13. A vehicle gate system, comprising:

a gate control mechanism;

a gate connected to the gate control mechanism, wherein the gate is a crossbar; and

a cover having a first surface with printing directed to a targeted audience using the gate system, wherein the cover includes an elongate body with a first end to receive the crossbar; and

a fastener coupled to the cover, wherein;

the fastener provides a releasable, secure connection to the gate; and

the fastener includes an opening through the elongate body adjacent the first end, wherein the opening through the elongate body receives a lock member to provide the releasable, secure connection to the crossbar.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a hook and loop mechanism.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a bolt.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a key lock.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a clamp.

18. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a strap.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein the fastener is a cable.
