: Bulky, industrial appearance; slow throughput speed; completely inaccessible for wheelchair users without an adjacent ADA gate. 4. Speed Gates (Flap Barriers)

The turnstile industry is rapidly evolving alongside advancements in artificial intelligence and contactless technology.

| Component | Function | |-----------|----------| | (rotors/arms) | Prevents unauthorized passage. | | Sensor / reader | Reads credentials (card, coin, barcode, phone). | | Actuator / solenoid | Releases the lock upon valid input. | | Directional logic | Allows one-way or reversible entry/exit. | | Counter / audit log | Records number of entries and timestamps. |

Upgrading from manual door checks or open entryways to a structured turnstile system yields immediate operational advantages:
