Application Case of IM.B211 Swing Turnstiles in a Bus Terminal

As a key local transportation hub, the bus terminal handles a daily passenger flow of over 20,000, operating multiple inter-provincial and inter-city passenger routes. With the growing demand for passenger travel, the terminal’s original pedestrian access management model gradually revealed significant drawbacks:

• The traditional manual ticket inspection was inefficient, often causing congestion at access points during peak hours. This not only prolonged passenger waiting times but also increased the workload of staff.
• Manual verification struggled to accurately match IDs with their holders, creating security risks such as unauthorized use of others’ IDs for travel. These issues posed challenges to the terminal’s safety management.

To enhance passage efficiency and safety standards, the bus terminal decided to upgrade its pedestrian access system. After extensive research and comparisons, it partnered with our company to introduce the IM.B211 swing turnstiles and a supporting dual-layer identification system.

Bus terminals are high-density, high-mobility public spaces, with some access points located outdoors. This requires turnstiles to have high identification accuracy and durability. The IM.B211 swing turnstiles address these needs through:

• A dual-layer verification system (facial recognition + ID scanning), which effectively meets the terminal’s safety management requirements.
• A stainless steel body that is fully adaptable to complex outdoor environments.

As a professional manufacturer of pedestrian access turnstiles, our company has years of industry experience. Our products are widely used in transportation, scenic spots, campuses, and other sectors, supported by a comprehensive pre-sales consultation and after-sales service system. During project communication, our technical team provided a customized access solution based on the terminal’s actual layout and passenger flow characteristics, further strengthening the client’s confidence in the cooperation.

The IM.B211 swing turnstiles innovatively integrate facial recognition and ID scanning to achieve "person-ID matching" dual verification. The process for passengers is as follows:

1. Place their ID card on the scanning area.
2. Align their face with the facial recognition camera.
3. The system completes the comparison between ID information and facial features within 1 second.

• If the comparison is successful, the turnstile opens automatically to allow passage.
• If the comparison fails, the turnstile remains closed and triggers an audio-visual alarm, prompting staff to intervene for verification.

This function has effectively eliminated risks such as using others’ IDs or traveling without valid identification, significantly improving the terminal’s safety management level. Since the system was put into use, no safety incidents related to identity verification have occurred, and passenger travel safety has been substantially enhanced.

Considering that some of the terminal’s access points are outdoors—exposed to wind, rain, sunlight, and other natural elements—the IM.B211 swing turnstiles are constructed with high-quality 304 stainless steel. This material offers excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and impact resistance, effectively withstanding harsh outdoor conditions (e.g., humidity, high temperatures, dust) and preventing issues like rust or deformation of the turnstile body.

After nearly a year of outdoor operation, the IM.B211 turnstiles remain in intact condition, with no visible scratches or rust on the surface, and maintain stable performance. Compared to turnstiles made of traditional materials, they require less maintenance, reduce maintenance costs, extend service life, and save the terminal long-term operating expenses.

The IM.B211 swing turnstiles adopt an optimized mechanical structure and intelligent control algorithm, enabling rapid response for opening and closing. The passage speed reaches up to 30 passengers per minute. Additionally, the turnstiles support wide-channel design, accommodating passengers with large luggage and avoiding congestion caused by luggage jams.

During daily morning peaks (7:00–9:00) and evening peaks (17:00–19:00), the terminal experiences a significant surge in passenger flow. Previously, passengers often waited 15–20 minutes in lines for manual ticket inspection. After the introduction of IM.B211 turnstiles:

• Each passenger takes only 3–5 seconds to pass through the turnstile.
• Waiting times are reduced to less than 5 minutes.

Congestion at access points has been noticeably alleviated, and passenger travel experience has been greatly improved.

The bus terminal’s operation manager stated: "Since introducing your IM.B211 swing turnstiles, the terminal’s pedestrian access management efficiency and safety standards have been substantially upgraded. The dual-layer identification system gives us greater confidence in identity verification, and the stainless steel body is fully suitable for outdoor use—there have been almost no equipment failures since operation. Passenger satisfaction with passage speed has increased significantly, and the workload of our staff has been greatly reduced. This cooperation has been very successful!"

The application of IM.B211 swing turnstiles in this bus terminal fully demonstrates the product’s adaptability and advantages in high-density public spaces. Key outcomes include:

• The dual-layer identification system builds a solid safety barrier for the terminal.
• The stainless steel body ensures long-term stable operation in outdoor environments.
• The efficient passage design effectively eases peak-hour congestion.

Overall, the solution achieves dual improvements in "safety" and "efficiency." In the future, our company will continue to deepen its focus on the pedestrian access turnstile sector, continuously optimizing product performance and functions to provide higher-quality access solutions for more transportation hubs, public venues, and similar scenarios.
