Published: with international search report (Art. 21(3)) (54) Title: HANDS-FREE FARE GATE OPERATION (57) : An access gate that controls access to a restricted area, the access 100 gate includes a communications interface having a long range wireless beacon and a short range radio frequency beacon. The gate includes a movable physical 108 barrier, a processing unit, and a memory. The memory has instructions stored thereon that cause the processing unit to detect, using the long range beacon, 106 the presence of a mobile device, receive, using the long range beacon, an access credential from the mobile device, and validate the access credential. The mem- ory also has instructions that cause the processing unit to determine, using the short range radio frequency beacon, that the mobile device is within a threshold distance of the access gate and manipulate the movable physical barrier to allow access to a user of the mobile device based on the determination that the mobile device is within the threshold distance of the access gate.
