In transportation, every minute matters—and so does every entry point. Fleet operations rely on efficiency, safety, and accountability. But all that can be jeopardized without strong access control at depots and logistics facilities. From catalytic converter theft to unauthorized vehicle movement and equipment tampering, fleet yards are increasingly targeted. The solution? A layered, modern approach to transportation facility security.

The Risks at Fleet Depots

Fleet depots are high-value targets. These sites house not only vehicles but also sensitive cargo, fuel reserves, and digital infrastructure. Without comprehensive transit access control, operations face:

  • Unauthorized entry and theft

  • Vandalism and sabotage

  • Safety risks to personnel

  • Costly operational downtime

Unfortunately, outdated locks, guard-only systems, or uncontrolled entry gates are no longer enough.

What Access Control Looks Like for Fleet Facilities

SSP helps logistics companies, transit agencies, and public fleet managers secure their facilities with layered access control systems built for 24/7 operations. This includes:

1. Credentialed Entry for Staff and Contractors

Access should be based on role, time, and area. With modern card, fob, or mobile-based credentials, fleet managers can limit who enters sensitive areas like fuel depots, dispatch zones, or maintenance bays—and when.

2. License Plate Recognition (LPR)

LPR cameras automatically validate authorized vehicles, enabling fast, touchless access while flagging unknown plates. This reduces congestion at gates and helps track all vehicle movements in and out of the depot.

3. Perimeter Protection and Remote Monitoring

Integrated gate access, surveillance, and intrusion detection ensures perimeter integrity. With centralized monitoring, control room staff can view real-time activity, issue alerts, or trigger lockdowns when necessary.

4. Audit Trails and Incident Investigation

A modern access control system provides detailed logs of entry and exit, helping operators quickly resolve incidents, enforce policy, or provide proof during insurance claims or regulatory audits.
