Can an entrance be open for suppliers in the morning only?

Yes. Permissions are time-controlled and apply to individual installations or groups. A supplier gets a license plate permission for the time window; outside it the installation stays closed for them while residents still get through.

How are violations detected?

The message archive logs every movement per installation with a timestamp and exports as CSV or PDF. Trier has set up fine processing on this basis; AI vehicle type recognition additionally reports vehicle classes that are not permitted in the zone.

Who maintains the permissions?

The administration itself, in the ControlHub from the office, as in Baden-Baden. Hotels can issue QR codes to guests, event organizers receive temporary plate lists; no on-site appointment is needed for that.

Delivery zones and pedestrian zones with time windows

A pedestrian zone is rarely closed completely: suppliers may enter in the morning, residents at any time, hotel guests on arrival, market traders on market day. The access control has to map these rules per entrance and time of day instead of being one barrier for all.

In the ControlHub, access permissions are personalized and time-controlled, for individual installations or groups of installations. Trier manages permissions by installation group, time of day and special authorization this way, with fine processing for violations.

The credential follows the user group: license plate for suppliers and changing guests, RFID for permanent users, QR code for hotels, public safety radio for emergency vehicles.

Time windows per group

Deliveries get a permission for the delivery period, residents a permanent one, event organizers a temporary one. Installations can be addressed individually, in groups and in zones; a permission for one entrance does not automatically apply to the next.

Wrong vehicle detected

Heavy trucks in the pedestrian zone are a safety and liability risk. AI vehicle type recognition compares the detected type with the zone’s rules; only permitted vehicle classes gain access: vehicle type recognition.

Evidence instead of debate

The message archive logs movements per installation with a timestamp and exports as CSV or PDF. Who drove through outside the time window is on record, and violations can be turned into fine processing.

Typical rules of a city center

User group	Permission	Credential
Suppliers	time window, for example the morning delivery period, for the pedestrian zone’s installation group	license plate recognition, phone call
Residents	permanent, limited to the entrance to their own quarter	license plate or RFID
Hotel and restaurant guests	limited to the stay, issued by the business	QR code, license plate
Market and event	limited per date, for setup and dismantling	plate list, radio transmitter
Emergency vehicles	at any time, without stopping	public safety radio, AI vehicle recognition
Special vehicles	own rule, for example the carriages in Baden-Baden with their own light signal	radio, long-range RFID

Time windows in practice

City of Trier: Permissions by installation group, time of day and special authorization for 23 access systems; the installations are fully automated and include fine processing: Trier reference.
City of Baden-Baden: QR code access for hotels, check-in and check-out via long-range readers, a dedicated radio extension for the spa town’s carriages; the city parameterizes the installations from the office: Baden-Baden reference.
City of Karlsruhe: Zirkel bicycle street: three installations prioritize cyclists and steer motorized traffic, residents still get through: Karlsruhe reference.
Single entrance: For a single barrier or bollard the BaseLink with any number of time schedules for opening and closing is enough, operated by app.
