e-gates
Passport-scanning entry portals
An e-gate is an electronic gateway or barrier that opens only when a particular condition is met; for example, when a ticket is inserted or a card is swiped.
E-gates are widely used in transportation contexts, such as train stations and airports, to control and limit access.
