AVUTEC: The Modular Barrier in Action

At AVUTEC, we take pride in seeing our technology integrated into forward-thinking solutions. One such innovation comes from BUKO, who developed a modular barrier system designed for flexible, temporary access control. Their solution addresses the challenges of dynamic project environments with a keen understanding of practical needs, mobility, and adaptability.

Engineered innovation: The design behind BUKO’s modular barriers

Intelligent and autonomous checkpoints

When the modular barrier systems are deployed — whether managing traffic around a construction site, regulating bus lanes, or controlling access to protected areas — they function as temporary checkpoints. By integrating our ANPR camera systems, these barriers evolved into intelligent units, enhancing their operation with added precision and autonomy.

Seamless communication and real-time decisions

AVUTEC’s ANPR cameras communicate effortlessly with BUKO’s barrier control. The result is real-time license plate recognition that allows for swift, automated access decisions. Authorized vehicles pass through seamlessly, while those without permission are held back. This connectivity ensures the entire process runs smoothly, without manual intervention or delays.

Remote management

The barriers units are designed to be operated remotely through a web-based interface. From any internet-connected device, operators can monitor the barrier live, communicate with drivers via intercom, and grant or deny access with a simple command. By incorporating our ANPR technology, these remote capabilities become even more powerful—automating routine tasks and leaving operators to handle only exceptional cases.

Transparent and GDPR-compliant barrier access insights

The mobile units collect detailed information on barrier usage, while ANPR technology provides accurate recognition data for comprehensive reporting. These insights offer transparency for stakeholders, validate traffic flow agreements, and demonstrate effective access control.
All collected data is processed in compliance with GDPR, ensuring privacy protection by never linking license plates to personal information and automatically deleting data after the retention period.

Real-world applications: BUKO’s modular barriers in action

Streamlined Bus Access at a Central Construction Site

In Nieuwegein, a construction site in the city centre posed a challenge: maintaining efficient public transport while diverting general traffic. To address this, the mobile barrier system equipped with AVUTEC’s ANPR cameras was deployed. The system allowed authorized buses to pass seamlessly through the work zone while keeping other traffic out.

Environmental protection through controlled access

In the northern Netherlands, AVUTEC’s ANPR camera technology was implemented to protect a sensitive natural area by controlling vehicle access. Only authorized vehicles were granted entry via the ANPR-enabled mobile barrier. The system's real-time recognition results ensured strict adherence to access policies. This project serves to evaluate the effectiveness of controlled access in protecting fragile ecosystems. If successful, this solution may become a permanent fixture to help safeguard the environment.

BUKO’s initiative and innovative thinking created a solution that stands on its own. By integrating our ANPR technology and connectivity, we’re proud to play a supporting role in enhancing their system—making access control smarter, faster, and more reliable.
