Parking Lot & Garage Safety
Promote Safer Access to Parking Facilities
Automated access points in airport and airbase environments handle constant vehicle flow—often under time pressure and in tight quarters. From barrier arms and slide gates to rolling steel doors and grilles, each system requires dependable safeguards to help prevent injury, damage, delays, or liability.
Miller Edge safeguarding solutions are designed to integrate with motorized doors and automated gates at every access point. Whether installed at staff-only entrances, service vehicle lanes, or high-traffic garages, our solutions support safer, smoother operation where it counts.
Ideal for secure lots, parking structures, or airside/perimeter access points:
- Rolling steel doors and grilles
- Sectional doors
- Barrier arms
- Sliding gates
- Bi-fold gates

How Sensing Edges Work
Wireless Sensing Edge Solutions
Photo Optics
Non-contact, infra-red obstruction detection that signal controls to stop and/or reverse motion.
Ideal for:
- Enhancing detection near parking barriers and garages
- Provides compliance with UL 325 requirements
Options:
- Retro-Reflective: One-sided detection using a reflective target
- Thru-Beam: Uses a long-range emitter and receiver and a single beam
- Light Curtains: Multiple thru beams create a blanket of detection
VisiLight LED™
Real-time visual alerts for increased visibility at motorized entry points.
Integrated LED lighting systems provide real-time visual cues at motorized entry points—helping drivers, pedestrians, and personnel anticipate door and gate motion before it occurs. VisiLight™ increases visibility and reduces confusion in busy, especially where multiple access points operate simultaneously.
Ideal for:
- Parking garage entrances and exits
- Barrier arms and rolling grilles
- Secure staff and service entry lanes
- Gated facility access points
Access Control
Real-time detection to power smarter access and control
Smart sensing technologies that detect approaching or departing vehicles and/or pedestrians. These sensors integrate with access control systems to trigger actions like motor activation, audible or visual alerts, or equipment response—improving awareness, efficiency, and control across a wide range of environments.
Ideal for:
- Staff-only or timed-access areas
- Airside perimeter vehicle lanes
- Managing traffic and minimizing unintended activations at entry/exit points
- Enhancing pedestrian safety in commercial or industrial environments
Options:
- Intelligent Motion Detection: Recognize vehicles or pedestrians and activate motor controls and alerts.
- Treadle Sensors: Detect traffic presence and signal entry or exit events for integrated control systems.
