DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A REAL-TIME INTELLIGENT BARRIER GATE SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI AND IP CAMERA FOR VEHICLE ACCESS CONTROL

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to designing and implementing an intelligent vehicle access control system using license plate recognition (LPR) technology. The proposed solution leverages the computational capabilities of Raspberry Pi and the visual coverage of an IP camera to enable automated barrier gate operation. By integrating image processing, optical character recognition (OCR), and servo motor control, the system offers a real-time, cost-effective, and scalable infrastructure for monitoring and controlling vehicle entry. Applications in residential, commercial, and high-security environments are explored, and performance metrics including accuracy, latency, and reliability are analyzed.
