 Safety at Formula 1
Not only Ferrari, McLaren & Co work with HiTec. The access control systems at the Formula 1 races are also made from state of the art technology. Drivers, mechanics, press- and TV crews they all enter the paddock and the pitlane with a special card. A sophisticated central system and turnstyles, especially designed for Formula 1, make sure that only authorized persons can enter the hot area. The software of the system allows to determine upfront, who may enter any area at any time or who for instance may only enter the paddock on a certain day. The readers work with two different contactless technologies. Both types of cards are individually produced for each race and carry security features such as holograms, transparent areas and engraving fields.
The access to the Paddock Club, the exclusive visitor area, is organized using identical systems. At a total of up to 40 turnstyles an average of 50.000 movements (entries or exits) are registered at an average race day. The systems for both areas are realized in such way that they can be completely disassembled and transported from race track to race track.
The Formula 1 project is very interesting and versatile for us, says Peter Lippold, managing director of Messrs. cards & more from Ratingen, Germany, since all our core strengths are involved: We deliver the sophisticated cards with various security features, the personalization units as well as the access control systems and we take care that the systems are professionally installed race after race. Sports arenas and ski resort operators as well as tourist organisations and trade show organizers have already placed enquiries for the flexible access control system. |
