Abstract: Separation systems, anti-piggybacking devices, computer program products and related methods for controlling access to a restricted area are provided. For example, a method for allowing single authorized entrance through a passage to control entrance into a restricted area of a facility can include, upon receiving an access granted signal, unlocking a lockable turnstile for an entry time period to permit the user to rotate a rotary panel assembly of the turnstile to enter the restricted area. The method can also include sensing, using a piggybacking detection device, a number of users in a count area within the turnstile while the turnstile is unlocked. Further, the method can include resetting the piggybacking detection device and locking the turnstile after only the single user is detected in the counter area and the rotary panel assembly of the turnstile is rotated to a position in the turnstile in which the single user is allowed to enter the restricted area.
Abstract: A turnstile having two hub and arm assemblies funnels individuals to different sides or lanes. Machine intelligence allows the turnstile to select which side or lane an individual transits. The turnstile may randomly, pseudo-randomly, or strategically which side or lane an individual transits.
