Designing a graphical tool for an access control system

At: Nedap N.V.

Any organisation strives to keep personal and company assets secure. Physical access control systems, such as Nedap's AEOS system, are crucial in achieving a safe environment for an organisation and its employees. Surveying large premises and keeping them safe without obstructing the authorised personnel is difficult. At large premises with many access points, there can be a lot of status updates from the system. This can be overwhelming for a user, and difficult to comprehend. This research aims to create a tool to help a user gaining an overview of the area of surveillance. Allowing them to organise and prioritise the incoming data and ensuring no important information slips through is crucial. The final model can be described as a user friendly, flexible tool, adaptable to the user and its current context, enhancing user experience and security.
