Access control involves the granting of authorization for a service to selected persons while restricting others. This paper involves the development of a car park access control system using both biometric and barcode system for the authentication. In addition to providing security to the parked cars, the developed system also automates billing for the car park users. The associated barcode is scanned while entering and exiting the car park. The difference in time is used to compute the amount payable and this is deducted from the specified user’s account. Furthermore, the developed system was evaluated using response time, false acceptance and rejection metrics. The result derived therein proves that the system is reliable with very low false rejection and false acceptance rates of 0.5% and 0.45% respectively. The response time of the system, measured as 1.407s, demonstrates its level of efficiency. In conclusion, the working prototype designed, proves that it can be easily implemented on a large scale with a low maintenance cost.
