GateWatch Turnstile Monitoring
Product details
Gatewatch Turnstile Monitoring Software runs on a PC running Windows XP SP3 or Windows 7 with up to 4 Specialised Interface boards fitted. With 2 Interface cards the PC can handle up to 80 turnstiles. There is the possibility to go up to 160 Turnstiles with 4 Interface cards.
If the GateWatch PC is connected to the LAN network then there is a Remote GateWatch programme available. This has the same layout as the GateWatch PC but with no operator functions. It receives data from the main PC and displays it exactly the same as the main PC. A report at the end of the match is displayed which can be saved and printed locally. There can be upto 6 Remote PCs running GatewatchRemote.If Functionality is required at the Remote PC then it can altered to allow this.
There can be up to 16 different setups with from 1 to 12 stand segments in each setup. Because of the use of moveable stand segments the user can easily add setups and alter the screen layout to meet any requirement. Each stand segment can have as many turnstiles as required and keeps a running total for that segment with the Stadium running total displayed in the centre of the screen (or anywhere desired)
If the present programme does not meet a specific need then it can easliy be re written to any requirements in a fairly short time. Please contact me with what you need the software to do and I may be able to provide a programme.
Although the GateWatch Turnstile Monitoring programme was written for a stadium which has a set capacity it is easily adjusted for any venue. If it is required to just keep a running total of people entering through turnstiles or similar then let me know of the exact requirements and I should be able to give you a quote for the cost.
Each stand gives the following information
1. Stand Name
2. Space left in stand (decremented as people come into stand)
3. Flow rate (no of people per minute)
4. The time left to fill the stand
5. The total number of people in the stand
6. A graphical display of the fullness of the stand
7. An indication when stand capacity is at 75%
8. An indication when stand capacity is at 90%
9. An indication when stand capacity is at 100%
10, An indication when stand capacity has been exceeded
The indication percents can be altered.
The Central Area gives the same information but for the whole stadium
After the gates are closed a summary can be printed which lists the following:
1. Basic information about the present match (entered before counting begins)
2. The total no of people in each stand
3. The total no of people through each turnstile
A turnstile summary can also be called up during counting to show usage of turnstiles
The layout of the screen is configurable by the user with additional layouts added as required by the User.
The turnstiles attached to a particular stand for a particular layout is also fully configurable.
Different layouts can be included if different stand layouts are used, i.e. stand split for home and away supporters, and the set-up chosen before the gates are opened. The user can add additional setups as required.
The background picture can be anything that the customer wants but is generally a layout of the stadium or building.
Below is an example of the GateWatch Turnstile Monitoring graphical interface.
The Computer is preloaded with a standard layout using data supplied by the user so that it will be usable from first installation. There is a setup screen so that other layouts can be added by the user. The different layouts are customisable and can have up to 10 Stand Groups.
The Gatewatch Turnstile Monitor configuration is done by adding the required number of stands, positioning them on the screen and then simply dragging the turnstiles to the relevant stand.
If several different layouts are required to be preloaded then this can be done before the system is delivered.
If any alteration or additions to the basic GateWatch Turnstile Monitoring programme is required then please contact me with as much detail as possible.
A general copy of the current Gatewatch Turnstile Monitoring manual can be downloaded
here
A brief explanation of the connections required can be found here
If your turnstiles do not use individual wiring then please send details and I will look into whethere the programme can be altered to use the available connections.
Eiger Solutions supplies the PC (with either Windows XP or Windows 7), Interface cards and Turnstile Monitoring software. Any other software required will be an additional cost. Costs for any site visits required to inspect and/or install the system will also be extra.
The price of the Turnstile Monitoring Computer does not include any cabling from the turnstiles to a suitable connection box near the PC which must be done by the customer. The PC connects to the connection box via one or more 50way flat ribbon cables so the connection box must be able to take stranded cable.
If the GateWatch is required in other Countries (than the UK) then I can supply the programme, system requirements and full installation and setup instructions. If the Interface cards are not available locally then it may be possible to obtain them here and send them.
