Boom barrier systems are widely used across Dubai to manage vehicle access in parking facilities. These barriers control entry and exit points, ensuring only authorized vehicles use the space while maintaining orderly flow. From shopping malls to residential towers, boom barriers provide a practical solution for parking control.
Parking areas in Dubai face high demand due to dense urban development. Boom barriers help allocate spaces efficiently and prevent unauthorized use. They integrate with payment systems and access controls to create a seamless experience for drivers.
A boom barrier at the entrance checks credentials before allowing a vehicle in. At the exit, it ensures payment or validation before opening. This process reduces congestion and improves turnover in busy lots.
Barriers prevent drivers from entering without paying or exiting without settling fees. Automated systems track usage accurately, minimizing revenue loss.
The system detects an approaching vehicle through loop detectors embedded in the ground. The driver presents a ticket, card, or uses a mobile app. The control unit verifies the input and raises the arm. Safety sensors ensure the arm stays open until the vehicle passes completely.
Boom Arm: Typically 3 to 6 meters long, made of lightweight aluminum.
Control Box: Houses the motor, logic board, and power supply.
Vehicle Detectors: Magnetic loops sense metal to trigger actions.
Ticket Dispensers: Issue entry tickets with timestamps.
Payment Kiosks: Accept cash, cards, or digital payments.
Different parking setups require specific barrier designs.
Standard arms for wide lanes. Suitable for most surface lots and garages.
Arms bend at a joint to fit low-ceiling areas like basement parking.
Two-section arms that fold upward, ideal for height-restricted entrances.
Arms with built-in lights improve visibility at night.
Boom barriers serve various parking environments throughout the city.
Large malls use multiple lanes with barriers to manage thousands of vehicles daily. Integration with validation systems offers free parking for shoppers.
Allocated spaces for residents with RFID tags. Visitor lanes use temporary tickets.
Employee access via monthly passes. Visitor parking with hourly rates.
Valet and self-park options with different barrier controls.
Barriers linked to payment machines for short-term parking.
