Enhancing Safety and Convenience with Smart Visitor Entry Management for Beaches

Beaches are vibrant public spaces that attract thousands of visitors every day—especially during peak seasons. With this influx comes the need for a well-organised and secure entry system to ensure safety, crowd control, and efficient visitor experiences. Traditional manual systems are often slow, error-prone, and incapable of handling large crowds seamlessly. That’s where smart Visitor Entry Management Systems (VEMS) come into play.

In this article, we explore how implementing a Visitor Entry Management System for beaches can streamline operations, enhance security, and offer a modern, tech-enabled experience for beachgoers and management authorities alike.

Why Beaches Need Visitor Entry Management Systems

Beaches, especially those in popular tourist areas, face unique challenges when it comes to managing access and crowd control. Unregulated access can lead to:

Overcrowding

Safety concerns

Revenue leakages in paid-entry setups

Difficulty in emergency evacuations

Vandalism and littering

A visitor entry management system, tailored for beaches, helps address these issues by offering automated access control, real-time visitor tracking, ticketing integration, and more—all while improving operational efficiency and visitor satisfaction.

Key Features of Parkomax’s Beach Visitor Entry Management Solution

Parkomax’s solution is designed with scalability and convenience in mind. Here are some standout features that make it ideal for beach environments:

1. Automated Entry and Exit Gates

Integrated with RFID, QR code, or biometric verification, these gates allow for contactless, quick entry and exit, minimising wait times and reducing congestion during peak hours.

2. Digital Ticketing System

Visitors can pre-book entry tickets via a mobile app or website. On-site kiosks and QR-based walk-in ticketing systems are also available, reducing the need for manual intervention and cash transactions.

3. Real-Time Visitor Monitoring

Get live data on the number of people currently at the beach, entry and exit logs, and historical records. This data helps in ensuring that the beach does not exceed its safe carrying capacity and aids in emergency preparedness.

4. Access Control for Specific Zones

Some beach zones may be restricted to VIP guests, families, or maintenance personnel. Parkomax enables zone-based access, ensuring only authorised individuals enter designated areas.

5. Integration with Parking and Amenities

The system can be seamlessly integrated with beach parking management, food court access, and locker usage. One unified platform offers control over multiple touchpoints of a visitor’s journey.

6. Weather and Emergency Alerts

Smart alerts can be broadcast via digital signage or mobile notifications for sudden weather changes, high tides, or emergency evacuations.

Benefits of Implementing Visitor Entry Management at Beaches

✔ Improved Safety and Crowd Control

By knowing exactly how many people are on the premises at any given time, beach authorities can avoid overcrowding, manage social distance if needed, and respond effectively during emergencies.

✔ Enhanced Visitor Experience

No more long queues or manual registrations. The system enables swift entry and exit, digital payments, and smooth navigation throughout the beach facilities.

✔ Revenue Protection and Transparency

For paid-entry beaches, automated ticketing and access control ensure accurate revenue collection and eliminate human errors or fraud.

✔ Data-driven Insights

Historical data can be used to analyse visitor trends, peak hours, and seasonal footfall. This helps in resource planning, staffing, and event scheduling.

✔ Environment-friendly Operations

Minimising the use of paper tickets and manual logs contributes to greener, more sustainable beach management practices.

Use Cases: How Different Beaches Can Benefit

Public Beaches: Efficient handling of large crowds with real-time capacity control and mobile ticketing.

At Cannabis Shops, Face Recognition Is Already a Thing

Mason Marks is a law professor at Gonzaga University and a Research Scholar at NYU Law School’s Information Law Institute. Find him on Twitter @MasonMarksMD

Imagine you are a medical marijuana patient driving to a cannabis dispensary. As you pull into the parking lot, surveillance cameras record your license plate number. You step out of the car, and walk toward the entrance.

A sign above the door reads “please look up for entry.” You crane your neck and gaze into a camera paired with artificial intelligence that analyzes your face. A red light suddenly turns green, and the door slides open. You enter the store and bypass a line of customers waiting at the register, opting instead for a self-service kiosk.

As you approach the machine, in-store cameras feed images to algorithms that analyze your appearance to determine if you might be carrying a weapon, and compare your face to millions of photos in a law enforcement database. When you finally reach the kiosk, it scans your face, identifies you as a returning customer, and greets you with a coupon for your favorite cannabis product.

This may sound like a scene from a sci-fi movie, but these tools are employed in cannabis dispensaries today. The cannabis industry is embracing new technologies like facial recognition and advanced video analytics throughout the supply chain—from grow rooms and processing facilities to distribution centers and retail dispensaries. The companies behind the technology say it benefits cannabis businesses, employees, and consumers. But in an industry marred by decades of mass-incarceration that has discriminated against communities of color, face surveillance poses serious privacy risks, and can easily be used for targeted harassment.

“It is hard, if not impossible, to find an example of a surveillance technology that has not been turned against groups that are already vulnerable in our structurally inequitable system,” said Shankar Narayan, Director of the Technology and Liberty Project at the ACLU of Washington, in an interview with Motherboard. Although legal for medical or recreational use in 33 states, cannabis remains illegal under federal law. Because it occupies a legal grey area, banks are hesitant to touch the industry, making it primarily an all-cash business and an attractive target for thieves. In Denver, Colorado, alone, there were 34 reported dispensary robberies in the first half of 2019.

Some tech companies see the risk of theft as an opportunity to sell facial recognition systems. Don Deason, VP of Sales for Blue Line Technology, claims his company’s platform has significantly reduced cannabis robberies. It works like this: When customers approach the front door of a dispensary, audiovisual cues prompt them to look up at a camera. If they comply, the system records an image of their faces, and the front door opens. If they decline or their faces are obscured, by a mask for example, then access is denied.

The system is also used to deter robberies and mass shootings in convenience stores, schools, and office buildings.

Deason told Motherboard that as long as customers don’t shoplift or cause a disturbance, “their information is deleted after 48 hours.” However, if a store’s management believes customers are misbehaving, they can tag each face with a unique number, and the system retains that information indefinitely. If tagged customers later return to the store, the system recognizes them and alerts employees of their arrival by email or text message. Deason said Blue Line encourages dispensaries not to confront tagged customers, but ultimately “store owners set the store security policy and procedures,” and, “the security response varies based upon store policy.”

Blue Line’s platform also controls access to restricted areas of cannabis businesses such as grow houses, cutting rooms, and safes, serving as a replacement for keys and access cards. When paired with other devices such as RFID tags, which are affixed to cannabis products, face recognition systems can track cannabis as it changes hands from one employee to the next.

“Many cannabis robberies are inside jobs,” said Matthew Heyl of Helix Security, a Denver company that provides surveillance products and services to cannabis businesses. He claimed video analytics and biometric access controls establish a chain-of-custody and deter diversion of legal cannabis to illicit markets.

For those reasons, government agencies that enforce cannabis laws are interested in facial recognition, said Steve Owens, the CEO of Adherence Compliance, a Denver consulting firm that has partnered with Blue Line. “This topic is really resonating with the regulators,” Owens told Motherboard. “When we mention it to Alameda County, they get it right away, because it helps them with their investigations.”

In addition to tracking employees and controlling access, facial recognition is used in dispensaries at the point of sale for age-verification. A Las Vegas based company called 420 Cyber markets its Badass Budtender kiosk as a replacement for human “budtenders” who check ID at the register. The kiosks can be equipped with facial recognition to ensure customers are of legal age.

Inside dispensaries, facial recognition can do far more. 420 Cyber markets what it calls “Video Active Security Monitoring” (VASM), which it says can determine whether customers carry concealed weapons, if there are warrants for their arrest, and whether their appearance matches “be on the lookout” (BOLO) alerts issued by police. It can reportedly recognize A-list celebrities if they happen to visit your store.

Consumers using 420 Cyber’s kiosks can also opt-in to personalization services: The units can scan and identify people’s faces, interpret their emotional responses to products, and help dispensaries learn which brands they prefer. 420 Cyber’s website says this data can be used to deliver targeted content “designed for individual viewing based on age, race, gender, location and daypart [the time of day a customer visits the store].”

Despite what vendors say, face recognition technology remains problematic and controversial. Algorithmic systems naturally adopt the objectives and values of their creators, and research shows that systems trained on insufficiently diverse datasets are often inaccurate and sometimes discriminate against women, racial minorities, and members of the LGBTQ community.

Even if the system is working as designed, face recognition can easily be adapted to target immigrants, activists, and other marginalized groups with little or no oversight. Citing those risks, at least three cities including San Francisco, Oakland, and Somerville, Massachusetts have banned municipal use of the technology. In June, the leading supplier of police body cameras, Axon, removed facial recognition from its services after an ethics board concluded it was “not yet reliable enough to justify its use.”

“Despite what developers may say, facial recognition technology has the potential to reinforce the racist and classist policies of prohibition”

“Technology makes a lot of promises, but there’s no guarantee they can deliver,” wrote Kamani Jefferson and Tyler McFadden in an email interview with Motherboard. The pair founded North Star Liberty Group, a DC-based government relations firm that advocates for ending cannabis prohibition while promoting racial and economic equality.

Jefferson previously served as President of the Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council, where he helped push for a state-run social equity program that helps groups disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs participate in the cannabis industry through professional training and mentoring. In July, Michigan announced its own social equity initiative. California created one last year, and San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles have local programs.

“Despite what developers may say, facial recognition technology has the potential to reinforce the racist and classist policies of prohibition,” Jefferson said. “It’s a classic case of a slippery slope, and until there’s a guarantee that not one innocent person will be thrown in jail due to the faults of this technology, I wouldn’t recommend cannabis facilities waste their money.”

Grayce Bentley is the Social Equity Coordinator for Cannabis Advising Partners in Long Beach, CA. In a phone interview, she told Motherboard: “I don’t think this is right at all, especially if facial recognition has been shown to be biased based on race, gender, et cetera.” Moreover, Bentley said most dispensaries serve a clientele consisting of both medical and recreational cannabis consumers, and “facial recognition should not be used in businesses where medical patients could be present.” She argued that collecting face data could violate federal health privacy laws such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Data breaches will likely be a growing problem for the cannabis industry as well. In 2017, a company called MJ Freeway, a major provider of software to cannabis businesses, suffered multiple hacking attempts. In one incident, hackers obtained consumers’ date of birth, contact information, and other unspecified data. If the company had also kept images of customers’ faces, the breach could have been more disastrous.

All the companies Motherboard spoke with said they make efforts to protect face recognition data through encryption. “But encryption is not a panacea,” said Ido Kilovaty, a law professor at the University of Tulsa who specializes in cybersecurity. “Hackers can launch brute-force attacks or look for other vulnerabilities, and there is always a risk of insider threats.”

“It doesn’t matter if the developers ‘don’t see race’ when their algorithm and security staff undoubtedly do.”

Even if impenetrable cybersecurity was achievable, it wouldn’t protect consumers from discrimination based on facial recognition. In recent years, there has been a rash of troubling AI systems that attempt to make assumptions about peoples’ sexuality and potential criminality based solely on their facial features. Tech ethicists have warned that the trend threatens to revive long-disproven pseudoscience practices like physiognomy, which have historically been used to justify racism and discrimination.

Shankar Narayan said he’s concerned about mission creep—when technologies implemented for a specific purpose are shifted to another application. A cannabis business might start out using facial recognition to analyze people’s emotional responses to different products, “but you can take that further, and start analyzing people’s propensity for violence,” said Narayan. Since facial recognition may be biased against vulnerable communities, it could disproportionately mischaracterize members of those groups as dangerous.

Narayan also noted that private surveillance systems can easily be repurposed for use by law enforcement and federal agencies. One example is police use of Amazon’s Ring doorbell cameras, which was recently reported on by Motherboard. “While being operated by an individual entity, it’s a private camera, and it need not conform to any rules around surveillance that apply to government cameras. But the company may turn the data over to the government,” Narayan said. “And then for all intents and purposes, it’s functioning as a government camera.”

Some companies marketing facial recognition to the cannabis industry have deep ties to law enforcement. Blue Line was founded by Joseph Spiess, Tom Sawyer, and Marcos Silva. Spiess is Chief of Police for the St. Louis suburb of Brentwood, Missouri. Sawyer, a retired St. Louis detective and DEA agent, built his career investigating drug crimes. Silva, an Army veteran who served in the Iraq War, is a St. Louis police detective who designed, implemented, and oversees the city’s real-time crime center (RTCC).

Michael Kwet, a fellow at Yale Law School’s Information Society Project who researches surveillance technology, expressed concerns: “For years, these officers locked people away for possession and sale of marijuana, with devastating effects on communities of color. Now they’re cashing in to protect the legal marijuana industry with facial recognition, while people previously persecuted languish behind bars.”

According to its website, the RTCC operated by Blue Line’s Silva “is focused on monitoring, deterring and evaluating criminal activity in real-time with the help of the advanced technology in the center,” which includes license plate readers, gunshot spotters, and crime analysis software. In 2015, former Police Chief Sam Dotson told St. Louis Public Radio the RTCC would tap into surveillance cameras owned by private companies and use “new software that would allow the analysts to better predict crime.”

Blue Line told Motherboard it does not have access to the face recognition databases of the cannabis businesses it serves, and therefore, it cannot share that data with law enforcement. However, because its clients set their own security policies and responses, store owners are free to turn facial recognition data over to police. Through this kind of sharing between private and public surveillance networks, police could gain access to face data stored by dispensaries even in cities where facial recognition is banned for government use.

Prior to his current role at the ACLU of Washington, Shankar Narayan was the organization’s Legislative Director, and he worked on Initiative 502, Washington State’s recreational marijuana bill. Before that, he worked on medical marijuana legislation.

“In the context of that medical marijuana law, we went through a lot of these same issues, and there was intense concern over patient privacy. Coming off of that very intense discussion, there’s some deep irony that in the name of security, entities that sell cannabis are now installing these highly invasive surveillance mechanisms. That is really the opposite of the spirit in which we had the discussions around medical marijuana dispensaries, and I think we should be deeply concerned about privacy in that context.”

Addressing concerns about bias, Don Deason told Motherboard that Blue Line’s face recognition system “recognizes everyone equally,” and that the company is “not tracking age, gender, race, or what products people buy.” He said the system sorts faces into only three categories: “known, unknown, or threat,” and people are categorized as threats based solely on their behavior inside a cannabis business, not on their physical traits or facial expressions.

Os Keyes, a doctoral researcher at the University of Washington who studies human-computer interaction, told Motherboard that Blue Line “has an incredibly shallow understanding of the concerns about bias in facial recognition.” They noted that whether security guards or police stop and search customers or accuse them of shoplifting may be influenced by personal prejudices.

“Whether someone is accurately matched by facial recognition is, similarly, something that we know has racial and gender biases,” said Keyes. “It doesn’t matter if the developers ‘don’t see race’ when their algorithm and security staff undoubtedly do.”

Despite tech company efforts to protect face recognition data and reduce bias, many cannabis industry experts remain uncomfortable with the technology.

Kamani Jefferson and Tyler McFadden implied it is unnecessary. They referenced statistics suggesting crime has decreased in states and neighborhoods with licensed cannabis dispensaries.

“There’s no reason to believe that trend won’t continue,” they added.

Griffen Thorne, an attorney with the law firm Harris Bricken, expressed doubt that adopting facial recognition technology would help businesses comply with state and local cannabis laws. “In California, cannabis businesses must have a security plan. They must have video recording, and doors that lock,” he said. “Beyond those basics, you don’t need to use fingerprint scanners or facial recognition technology.”

Shankar Narayan asked, “How can we be a free society with this level of surveillance? It kills free speech, it chills constitutional activity, it disproportionately impacts communities of color, it’s subject to abuse, [and] there’s not a lot of checks and balances here.”

One thing seems certain: legislators, government agencies, and the cannabis industry itself, should involve potentially affected communities in deciding how facial recognition should be implemented in the industry, and whether it should be used at all.

Select The Perfect Electronic Door Lock For Your Home

The days of locking your keys in the house or forgetting to lock the door can be a thing of the past, thanks to the variety of affordable electronic door locks on the market. Once the domain of the wealthy for entry to their multimillion dollar estates, an electronic door lock can now grace your front door for a few hundred dollars.

For most of us, security is a top priority when selecting door locks for our homes, followed by cost, style and finish. Choosing the best door locks for your doors depends on whether a door is interior or exterior, because each type of door requires completely different locking mechanisms. For example, it would not make sense to install a deadbolt on a bathroom door or a push-button privacy lockset on a front entry door. But before we get into that, let's learn more about door locks in general and which ones are the most durable.

Choosing the right type of lock depends on what you are securing, you wouldn't want to lock up drugs with a simple utility lock. The same holds true with electronic locks it would be overkill to lock up hand tools with electronic locks. For best Electronic Locks Designer in London, get in touch with Qi Locks.

Before we explore the features on some popular electronic locks, let's learn more about how they work.

Entry Methods: RFID, Keypad, Biometric, and Bluetooth

Most electronic door locks come with one or more means of entry, which include RFID, keypad, biometric (fingerprint), or Bluetooth.

Early electronic locks used keypad locks with a pin number for entry. Keypads are still popular, although newer models use touch screen panels instead of buttons and include security features to help prevent burglars from figuring out the code.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) locks use a key fob or card for entry. With RFID locks technology, you may not have to remove the key fob from your pocket or purse, meaning no more fumbling in the dark or trying to find your keys when your arms are full to enter your home.

Bluetooth-enabled locks operate in a similar way, sensing your smartphone's Bluetooth ID and opening when you approach. Most Bluetooth and RFID locks also use a secondary means of electronic entry, in case your battery dies or you lose your key fob or cell phone.

Biometric entry uses fingerprint identification to open the lock. If you've used this feature on your smartphone or laptop, you understand how it works. All you do is program your fingerprint, or those you want to have access to your home, and the system knows this is an acceptable person to unlock for.

Adding an electronic door lock to your home security is a great additional step to take to keep your home secure, all while making your life a bit easier. To know more about RFID Door Locks Suppliers in London and compare electronic door locks & other home security options.

Build Your Wall, Keep Your PBS: A Simple Plan to Save $300 Billion

  This costs you.

Traffic costs motorists billions of dollars per year in waste.  I hate waste.  Someone, somewhere, has to pay for it.  What if we eliminated traffic costs by being less wasteful?  The Trump Wall and PBS (will) cost the taxpayers a shade over $22 billion combined. If we can implement our plans, we will have money to spare. That is enough to even fund both projects, as well as another $54 billion and have tax breaks. That is if we choose it.

What are traffic costs?

Traffic costs motorists up to $300 billion per year.  As well as lost time in jams, motorists allow gas to go up in fumes by being stuck in stated gridlock.  It’s a shame those resources used couldn’t be more useful.  The entire logistics train was used for naught if you sit idly by on a clogged highway.

How can the average motorist help?

You can also lose weight for that 2017 beach bod.

Well, check and see if the vehicle is even needed.  Using public transportation, or biking, and having a stellar network at the job site that enables carpools could allow for user-level savings.  This approach is lacking as it will not make a significant dent into the $300 billion.  Traffic alone isn’t the issue.  It is the bottleneck.  With the reach of the highway networks, people are able to live further from one another while still returning to a central work area.  The closer people get to said work area, the likelihood of traffic delays increase.  Exponentially compounded are urban areas, with suburban sprawl locations having their own traffic issues (see: real-time traffic synchronization across multiple DoT agencies).

So what can be done?

We could see an industry boom, creating more US jobs.

With the free-market system enjoyed by so many Americans, an opportunity presents itself to a particular set of businesses.  Analytics companies and RFID manufacturers could benefit from the business of fixing our broken road systems.  So, too, could concrete manufacturers, steel manufacturers, glass makers, every link in the logistical chain to provide every material mentioned. Likewise, the entirety of the American infrastructure system.

A municipality could contract enough RFID tags to track local residents along major artery roads. These are the roads that lead into and out of inter/intrastate highways.  With RFID tracking, real-time results could be relayed to local or state DoT agents who would work in concert with the RFID information to give traffic from the highway as much green light time as needed.  This would allow the flow of the artery to not be blocked by the cholesterol of a light system that is inefficient.

Some cities have begun the march towards more efficient traffic.

The Baltimore Skywalk had potential and linked the Convention Center we key POI downtown.

Calgary, Chicago, Edmonton, Minneapolis, and other North American cities have skywalk systems longer than five miles.  I grew up on a small skywalk network in Baltimore.  Watching parts of it fall into neglect coupled with the whole system being underutilized is such a shame.  Some argue that bottom level (under the skywalk) businesses would suffer.  My solution is to put those businesses who deal in foot-traffic on the second floor.  Hotels, hospitals, and government buildings wouldn’t suffer and could retain their ground level entry points.  Consequently, service and retail businesses can create multiple town plazas within the newly covered intersection space on level two.

Inefficiency is something we all suffer from that we can correct.

The hypothetical need to be for traffic lights to be green for two minutes for 25 blocks exiting a major highway trumps cross-traffic needs.  Two minutes in cross-street traffic for a few is better than the collective time-suck of a four or more lane highway crawl or backup that lasts for hours.  Yes, this is utilitarian.

What an Idea!

This is why they built underground walkways.

This idea came to me as I merged off of a highway and was immediately impeded from clearing the merge zone by a red light and the subsequent traffic behind it.  Why am I waiting right next to this major transportation system when there is no cross-traffic available to trigger the light change in the first place?  I should be a mile and a half closer to home by now.

Combine the two ideas

Couple the RFID tracking with skywalks or underground walkways and the entire traffic scene changes.  Skywalks and walkways allow people to circumnavigate traffic by going above or below it.  Pedestrians walking around the traffic alleviates much of the need for traffic lights. This would allow the traffic to remain in motion until arriving at its destination.  Additionally, the skywalks would also allow people to safely travel faster to their destination by not having to stop every block and having to wait for the stick figure to tell them to move.

Tasty!

If we get our shit together we save an exorbitant amount of time and money.  We can all have our cake and eat it, too; if we get smarter on the efficiency of time and energy.

Beauport Hotel Gloucester Trusts Dormakaba Saflok Networked Locks

dormakaba, provider of Saflok and Ilco RFID and mobile access security solutions, announced the new Beauport Hotel Gloucester, Massachusetts, opened its doors with mobile-ready networked Saflok Quantum RFID guest room electronic door locks as well as perimeter and facility access entry points. The property’s electronic door locks communicate with the Beauport Hotel’s front office system over dormakaba’s Messenger® Lens network for a more secure guest environment. The luxury Beauport Hotel Gloucester is located ocean front on Cape Ann in Massachusetts. Click here for information on electronic door locks from dormakaba.  Guest safety and secure perimeter access are a priority “Guest safety and convenience were a priority when we planned Beauport Hotel Gloucester,” said Ray Johnston, general manager. “We wanted to be able to trust a reliable networked lock platform that communicated with our front office system and allowed us create a secure perimeter access. We selected dormakaba’s Saflok system to do this.  It was the right decision. Saflok’s Quantum RFID electronic door locks and Messenger Lens wireless online network let us remotely monitor guest door activity to provide a safe, secure environment for guests. We can also interrogate guest keys for access information and remotely recode doors for greater guest convenience and flexible property security.”  Saflok flexibility allows custom portal-specific access control Johnston noted that the property also installed online networked Saflok locks on its perimeter access entry points, its rooftop pool, workout area, and business center. “We have direct access from our beach that we secure with Saflok,” he said. “The locks and RFID key code system are so flexible that we can enable guest keys to let them into the building and their rooms, but not allow direct beach access to our restaurant.”  The Beauport Gloucester provides guests and local residents with an excellent array of fresh catch seafood and other specialties in its 300-seat community focused ocean front 1606 Restaurant.  dormakaba’s Messenger Lens wireless online system provides two-way communication between the front desk and a property’s guest room doors and perimeter access electronic locks. Messenger sends staff notifications or alerts from property locks if a door is left ajar for a specific period of time or for maintenance issues such as a low battery. Messenger alerts may be delivered to a server, directly to a cell phone via text message, or to an email address to ensure guest safety and proper system operation. Messenger also communicates with the climate control system and other systems to optimize guest comfort.  “The Beauport Hotel Gloucester’s team worked with dormakaba to implement the most reliable and secure lock system to optimize guest convenience and property security,” said Alastair Cush, dormakaba head of lodging global business development. “This is an exceptional property and dormakaba is committed to ensuring the smooth operation of its guest room locks and access control solution.”  The Beauport Hotel Gloucester was a new build from the ground up and is now the premier destination on Cape Anne. “Our in-season guests can come from as far away as Norway and New Zealand for our Atlantic views, fresh seafood and comfortable luxury,” said Johnston. “Cape Ann is a nearby four-season escape for guests from New England and New York.”  All dormakaba RFID locks manufactured today are compatible with BLE, IOS and Android mobile technology.  dormakaba Mobile Access enables guests to open their hotel doors equipped with BLE electronic locks using their mobile phone or device, including the Apple Watch, as a flexible alternative to a classic RFID keycard.  About Beauport Hotel Gloucester Overlooking Gloucester Harbor, Pavilion Beach and the Atlantic Ocean, this waterfront boutique gem is the perfect New England coastal getaway with 94 classically designed guest rooms and suites, an oceanfront restaurant and lounge and a magnificent rooftop pool and bar.  As one of the finest new hotels on Boston’s North Shore, we are committed to exceeding our guests’ every expectation of what a seaside hotel should be.  Beauport Hospitality Group has a proven track record of success.

Build Your Wall, Keep Your PBS: A Simple Plan to Save $300 Billion

This costs you.

Traffic costs motorists billions of dollars per year in waste.  I hate waste.  Someone, somewhere, has to pay for it.  What if we eliminated traffic costs by being less wasteful?  The Trump Wall and PBS (will) cost the taxpayers a shade over $22 billion combined. If we can implement our plans, we will have money to spare. That is enough to even fund both projects, as well as another $54 billion and have tax breaks. That is if we choose it.

What are traffic costs?

Traffic costs motorists up to $300 billion per year.  As well as lost time in jams, motorists allow gas to go up in fumes by being stuck in stated gridlock.  It’s a shame those resources used couldn’t be more useful.  The entire logistics train was used for naught if you sit idly by on a clogged highway.

How can the average motorist help?

You can also lose weight for that 2017 beach bod.

Well, check and see if the vehicle is even needed.  Using public transportation, or biking, and having a stellar network at the job site that enables carpools could allow for user-level savings.  This approach is lacking as it will not make a significant dent into the $300 billion.  Traffic alone isn’t the issue.  It is the bottleneck.  With the reach of the highway networks, people are able to live further from one another while still returning to a central work area.  The closer people get to said work area, the likelihood of traffic delays increase.  Exponentially compounded are urban areas, with suburban sprawl locations having their own traffic issues (see: real-time traffic synchronization across multiple DoT agencies).

So what can be done?

We could see an industry boom, creating more US jobs.

With the free-market system enjoyed by so many Americans, an opportunity presents itself to a particular set of businesses.  Analytics companies and RFID manufacturers could benefit from the business of fixing our broken road systems.  So, too, could concrete manufacturers, steel manufacturers, glass makers, every link in the logistical chain to provide every material mentioned. Likewise, the entirety of the American infrastructure system.

A municipality could contract enough RFID tags to track local residents along major artery roads. These are the roads that lead into and out of inter/intrastate highways.  With RFID tracking, real-time results could be relayed to local or state DoT agents who would work in concert with the RFID information to give traffic from the highway as much green light time as needed.  This would allow the flow of the artery to not be blocked by the cholesterol of a light system that is inefficient.

Some cities have begun the march towards more efficient traffic.

The Baltimore Skywalk had potential and linked the Convention Center we key POI downtown.

Calgary, Chicago, Edmonton, Minneapolis, and other North American cities have skywalk systems longer than five miles.  I grew up on a small skywalk network in Baltimore.  Watching parts of it fall into neglect coupled with the whole system being underutilized is such a shame.  Some argue that bottom level (under the skywalk) businesses would suffer.  My solution is to put those businesses who deal in foot-traffic on the second floor.  Hotels, hospitals, and government buildings wouldn’t suffer and could retain their ground level entry points.  Consequently, service and retail businesses can create multiple town plazas within the newly covered intersection space on level two.
