VEHICLE DETECTION FOR ELECTRIC GATES
Vehicle detection can be an important part of a well-designed automated gate system. It can help detect vehicles at an entrance or exit point, support automatic gate operation where appropriate and improve how vehicles move through the site.
KLR Design Limited™ can specify vehicle detection options such as Optex where suitable, depending on the entrance layout, safety requirements, traffic flow and access control system.
OPTEX DETECTION FOR ESTATES, CAR PARKS & COMMERCIAL SITES
Vehicle detection is especially useful for managed entrances, car parks, private estates, commercial yards, hotels, holiday parks and one-way traffic systems.
VEHICLE DETECTION WITH ELECTRIC GATES, BARRIERS & INTERCOMS
Vehicle detection is often used alongside other access control systems. KLR Design Limited can design entrance systems that combine electric gates, barriers, intercoms, keypads, fobs, app access and vehicle detection depending on the site requirements.
OPTEX VEHICLE DETECTION FOR ONE-WAY ENTRANCES
Some properties use separate entry and exit points, including carriage driveway-style entrances and managed access routes. In these cases, vehicle detection may support smoother exit control and reduce the need for manual operation.
KLR Design Limited has experience with gate systems that combine automation, intercoms and vehicle detection for controlled entrance and exit flow where suitable.
CASE STUDY — EDINAMPLE CASTLE, LOCHEARNHEAD
Bespoke automated entrance gates for the historic Edinample Castle on Loch Earn — featuring an Optex vehicle exit detector as part of an integrated access control system designed and installed by KLR Design Limited.
ACCESS CONTROL & DETECTION HARDWARE
Set between the original castle pillars, the bespoke double swing gates were automated with underground KEY motors and integrated with a full Commtel 4G keypad / cloud-app intercom system. An Optex vehicle exit detector was specified for smooth, hands-free exits from the estate.
- KEY underground gate automation
- Commtel 4G keypad intercom with cloud app access
- Optex vehicle exit detector
- 2 × pairs of safety photocells
- 10 × KEY access fobs (colour-coded to client preference)
OPTEX VEHICLE EXIT DETECTION IN PRACTICE
Optex detectors are positioned to sense an approaching vehicle at the exit side of an entrance, allowing hands-free departure without a fob, keypad or app.

VEHICLE DETECTION REPAIRS, SERVICING & MAINTENANCE
Vehicle detection systems should be checked as part of wider gate and access control servicing. If the detection system becomes unreliable, the entrance may not operate as intended.
