Add an Entrance/Exit Control Device

An entrance/exit control device is used for managing the entrance or exit of a parking lot, especially that of an unattended parking lot. After a vehicle gets a ticket or card from an entrance/exit control device, the device will control the barrier gate to open and let the vehicle enter. After the vehicle returns the ticket or card, the device will allow the vehicle to exit. Besides, if an entrance/exit control device issues cards instead of tickets, its guidance screen is configurable, which means you can configure the information displayed on it.
