Overview
Executive Summary
Askari-XI is one of Lahore’s large, well-established gated communities, home to more than 30,000 residents. A community of this scale needs vehicle and pedestrian access control that can tell residents, visitors, and pedestrians apart automatically, without turning every entry into a manual checkpoint stop.
ASG Systems Pakistan was engaged as the solutions and service provider responsible for planning, supplying, and installing an e-tag based resident access system, a dedicated visitor lane, a tripod turnstile for pedestrian access control, and visitor management software across the community’s entry points, completed in 2022.
The brief
The Challenge
As a large gated community with constant resident, visitor, and pedestrian traffic, Askari-XI needed an access system that could separate these flows cleanly:
- Let registered residents pass through the gate quickly via e-tag, without stopping to show ID on every trip.
- Give visitors their own dedicated lane, so non-resident traffic doesn’t bottleneck resident entry.
- Control pedestrian access separately from vehicle traffic at community entry points.
- Keep a software-based record of every visitor entering, supporting security across a community of more than 30,000 residents.
What we delivered
The Solution: E-Tag, Visitor Lane, Tripod Control & Visitor Management
ASG Systems Pakistan built a layered access system across Askari-XI’s entry points, separating resident, visitor, and pedestrian traffic into their own controlled lanes.
Component 01
E-Tag Resident Access
Registered residents’ vehicles carry an e-tag that is read automatically at the dedicated E-Lane, raising the barrier without the driver needing to stop and present ID—keeping resident traffic moving quickly at every gate.
Component 02
Sector Gate Checkpoints
At sector-level gates, security staff and a signal-guided E-Lane checkpoint manage the steady flow of residents, deliveries, and service vehicles entering each part of the community.
Component 03
Dedicated Visitor Lane
A separate visitor lane, marked clearly apart from the resident e-tag lane, routes non-resident traffic through its own checkpoint—keeping visitor processing from slowing down registered residents.
Component 04
Tripod Turnstile & Pedestrian Access Control
At pedestrian entry points, a tripod turnstile controls foot traffic separately from vehicle lanes, giving security staff a clear, one-person-at-a-time checkpoint for residents and visitors on foot.
Component 05
Visitor Management Software
Every visitor entering through the dedicated visitor lane is logged through visitor management software, giving community security a clear, searchable record of who has entered the premises and when—an important layer of security for a community of this size.
How we did it
Implementation Approach
- 1Site survey across Askari-XI’s main and sector-level entry points to plan e-tag, visitor lane, and tripod placement.
- 2Procurement and staging of e-tag readers, barriers, and tripod turnstiles for each checkpoint.
- 3Integration of visitor management software with the visitor lane checkpoint process.
- 4Civil and electrical works for lane signage, barrier foundations, and turnstile installation.
- 5Installation, calibration, and functional testing of every e-tag reader, barrier, and turnstile.
- 6Coordination with community management and security staff for resident e-tag enrollment and a smooth go-live in 2022.
Outcome
Results & Impact
The completed installation gave Askari-XI a layered, community-wide access control system:
- Fast, automatic e-tag access for registered residents at the main and sector gates.
- A dedicated visitor lane that keeps non-resident traffic from slowing down resident entry.
- Controlled pedestrian access via tripod turnstiles, separate from vehicle checkpoints.
- A software-based visitor record supporting security across a community of more than 30,000 residents.
