Perimeter Security

In a technology partnership with EXPO Milano 2015, CAME developed

an innovative access control system that succeeded in managing the

enormous pedestrian and vehicular flows through the parking areas

and the exhibition halls themselves generated by the more than 21

million visitors to the international fair.

EXPO Milano 2015 had been looking for a system that could reconcile

the need for the high security that the event demanded with the need

to maintain speed and fluidity in the management of the entrance and

exit of a huge crowd numbering 250,000 people a day. The system

also had to be amenable to the centralized management and oversight

of all operations across the more than 1.100.000 square meters of the

exhibition site by the authorities in charge of security, which was done

through an operations center.

CAME designed and developed an entire system that was custom

built to satisfy all the demands of the client. It included features

such as smart turnstiles to direct the flow of visitors and automatic

barriers protecting the checkpoints for the control of vehicular traffic.

The turnstiles, which were nominated for the prestigious Compasso

d’Oro Award (for innovation), were specifically designed to enhance

communication with visitors and reduce waiting times to a minimum.

Particular attention was dedicated to the building of twenty special

turnstiles for disabled access. The access control system comprised

automated sliding gates, road barriers and bollards with removable

covers to allow them to be customized to changing needs.

The perimeter entrances to the exhibition site consisted of: 230 XVia

turnstiles capable of scanning paper tickets and QR codes and of

reading the signals from RFID and NFC devices; 22 AXO automatic

sliding gates; 23 automatic GARD8 EZ road booms; and 40 G6 EVO

bollards. The integrated access control system could be operated from

70 handheld devices.

The contract here was to install a system of flow control for

the cruise-ship passengers who make use of the Barrakka

Lift every day to reach the centre of La Valletta. The lift,

inaugurated in December 2012, offers a practical alternative for

the thousands of tourists who disembark daily at the port of

La Valletta and want to reach the shops, restaurants, churches

and museums in the town centre.

The Municipality had been looking for ways to connect the

upper part of La Valletta with the port below where the cruise

liners dock, and to direct the flow of tourists from all over the

world to the old town and the Barrakka Gardens.

The solution was a major construction project, coordinated

by Mekanika, a Maltese systems-integrator. It entailed the

installation of two enormous lifts connected to an access

control system to manage the flow of tourists headed for the

upper part of the town. Mekanika engaged CAME to develop

the access control system and connect it to automatic ticket

dispensers, which obviated the need for any staff. The city port

and the Barrakka Gardens were linked by means of two Kone

elevators, each capable of carrying up to 21 people in around

25 seconds up to the installation tower, 65 meters above.

CAME’s access control system comprises: 11 “Twister”

turnstiles with barcode readers to scan the tickets; 2 “PS One”

automatic ticket dispensers; 3 “Wing” turnstiles for disabled

access. System manages over 2.000 people an hour during

daily rush-hours.

High-security access control for the protection of vehicle access

gates at the extremely sensitive site of the Panama Canal

(Miraflores Lock).

To ensure maximum site protection it was necessary to find

a solution that would fully secure the access gates located at

critical points around the lock. Given the particular national and

international significance of the security challenge, the contracting

party needed a 100% guarantee that whatever system was

adopted would meet stringent international regulatory standards.

The solution entailed the installation of new ASTM-F2656-

certified ONE50 high-security bollards, (certification is equivalent

to the DOS and PAS68), for the secure and automatic protection

of the access areas. The safety of ONE50 bollard has been

proofed through crash test. In one, a vehicle weighing 6.8 tons

was driven into a bollard at a speed of 80 kms an hour. While the

bollard stopped the vehicle dead and the impact destroyed it, the

bollard itself required no more repair than a new cover.

The bollards are also equipped with a colour LED system

for visibility at night.

El Prat International Airport Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona’s “El Prat” International Airport is the main airport of

Barcelona and the second busiest in Spain after Madrid-Barajas.

In 2014 it handled more than 35 million passengers. The automatic

parking systems, installed between 2002 and 2008 for Terminals 1

and 2, now oversee more than 13,000 spaces.

In 2002, Barcelona Airport decided to install a new automatic

parking system for Terminal 2 to cope with the various different

categories of users: tourists, airline and airport staff, vendors,

security personnel, car rental operators, etc. The primary

requirement asked of the system was that it ensured maximum

fluidity and speed for every type of user arriving at and leaving

the parking area. In 2008, in view of the success of the system,

Barcelona Airport decided to expand it to Terminal 1 and combine

it with the parking system in use there.

The proposed system is made up of:

recognition system that can match parking tickets

to vehicle plates;

and payments through NFC.

A particular feature of the system is its exclusive guidance system

that keeps watch over more than 13,000 parking bays, facilitates

ease of access to them and offers users a fast and secure parking

experience. A central server searches for and indicates unoccupied

spaces, which enhances the free flow of vehicle traffic while

providing greater control of the parking areas.

Parking Systems

The project resulted in the complete renovation of the parking

meters in the historic centre of Madrid and the creation of a single

platform for their centralized management. The 1,500 parking

meters, all powered by solar energy, offer a variety of payment

choices.

The City Council of Madrid, needing to renew the parking meters

of the historic centre, all made by the same manufacturer and

posing technological problems, resolved to use three different

manufacturers for the new terminals (parking meters) but to

link them all to a single control system that could also handle

payments via mobile devices.

As part of a strategic plan for the improvement of air quality in the

historical centre, the Council also wanted to introduce a system

that penalized parking during peak periods and rewarded eco-

friendly vehicles.

The approximately 1,500 parking meters are mobile-payment

enabled and equipped with NFC technology for the validation of

bank cards or rechargeable proximity cards by which users can

check their credit balance in real time.

A specially-designed centralized platform handles all the

connected terminals, even if made by different manufacturers,

which enables the dynamic pricing of parking according to the

environmental impact of the vehicle. Particular attention was paid

to the reduction of energy consumption through the use of solar

energy and to keeping the need to maintain the batteries to the

bare minimum.

On-Street Parking Systems

The project, which is now being expanded, has so far involved the

installation of 22 automated systems to serve the same number of

parking lots located at various points in Kuwait City. A dedicated

platform, currently under development, will provide centralized

monitoring and control of all 22 sites.

The construction and outfitting of new parking areas, and the

adoption of advanced solutions for their management and operation,

is one of several projects to modernize and improve the urban

mobility of Kuwait City Centre. One of the project requirements was

the engagement of a single contractor with whom the city authorities

could continue to work exclusively on the further developments now

in the pipeline or already planned.

The chosen solution entailed the manufacture, supply and installation

of 22 separate automated parking systems located in different

areas, for a grand total of 36 entry units, 39 manual and automatic

pay stations, and 75 barriers. All outdoor installations are covered

in reflective paints and fitted with cooling systems so that they may

work in extreme temperature conditions. A dedicated software

platform specially developed for the project enables a high level of

customization of the functioning of each of the different systems. The

platform provides centralized management and monitoring, through

which the individual systems can be remotely controlled, and to

which they provide real-time status reports.

Home & Building Automation

The solution refers to a complex of 587 apartments, 43 individual

homes and over 2,000 square meters of commercial space, for

which innovative systems of building automation were developed

and installed to the highest standards of comfort and safety.

The customer needed a full-spectrum solution that could be

guaranteed by a single provider and that offered access control,

security systems, video entry phones, home automation and

lighting in the common areas. The system also had to ensure

maximum comfort for the end-user, while also rationalizing building

support and maintenance tasks to reduce running costs.

The solution consists of a combination of integrated,

interconnected and dedicated systems for each of the three types

of real estate: apartments, separate homes and commercial

spaces. The installation includes innovative video entry system

solutions based on ETI/XIP interfaces. Each apartment is

equipped with a home automation system, which can also

be remotely operated (from a smartphone, tablet or PC) to

switch lights off and on, and activate dimmers, thermostats

and automatic blinds. All homes are also fitted with anti-burglar

systems and gas and smoke detectors. The entire system can be

controlled via a dedicated app and further developed to purpose.

The BPT video door entry system at The Lancaster is made

up of 23 bespoke DIGITHA entry panels connected to a secure

communal the LAN network by means of 6 ETI/XIP network

interfaces. The network server ETI/SER oversees and manages

the correct routing of all audio/video communications between

the entry panels and around 150 of Crestron’s TPMC-4SM touch

panels.

The need to reduce the quantity of cabling in a complex and

extensive built environment steered the developer’s London-

based integration partner, SMC towards digital systems

communicating via LAN on IP protocol.

In this environment BPT was selected for video door entry

systems thanks to its innovative XIP technology capable of

distributing video door signals over LAN. SMC worked closely

with BPT UK, long established and traditional partner of BPT

in the UK to design a system, which communicated directly

with Crestron’s TPMC-4SM touch panel within each apartment.

The contribution of BPT UK was decisive in supporting the

specifying, winning and delivery of the project. At a technical level,

Crestron and BPT R&D departments teamed up to deliver full

interoperability between the BPT XIP video door entry system and

Crestron’s TPMC-4SM touch panels. This software development

was undertaken jointly and delivered to meet the project’s

timescales.

An integrated solution for the management of security and access

control to the various levels of a complex of 84,000 square meters

housing a luxury hotel and conference centre.

The project involved the construction of a dedicated control system

for the multi-storey car park attached to the complex, the installation

of turnstiles to control the differentiated access of staff and guests

coming through the main entrance, as well as a system for the

regulation of people flows around the different areas of the building.

Newton Plaza needed an installation to control and regulate the

various entrances and exits distributed throughout the building (in

the parking lot, the hotel, conference centre), and that could combine

maximum safety with a streamlined and rapid operation.

An essential requirement was that the whole project should be

managed by a single operator who would develop a solution,

manage the operations of the system, deliver assistance and

maintenance and minimize the time lost to repair work, while all the

time maintaining strict client confidentiality and discretion.

The solution used involved:

video recording devices for status checks of incoming vehicles and

the detection of any damage occurring during manoeuvres;

vehicles and speed up access;

with mobile devices and reading QR codes;

areas of the complex by different types of users.
