Web-based multi-level smart card access control system on university campus

Access control is one of the most widely used smart card applications on university campus. With the increase of smart card access control applications, it´s more and more inconvenient and costly to build, use and maintain traditional client-server smart card access control system. In order to solve these problems, we propose the design of a web-based multi-level smart card access control system. The system is technically featured by a single instance shared by all users on campus; the real-time and automatic data exchange between smart card management system and smart card access control system; integrated device information, access control information and access control log. With the support of the new system, we can realize the reengineering of most key managerial processes in smart card access control management. Furthermore, the business process reengineering can achieve lots of user experience, managerial and economic benefits for cardholders, smart card administrators, access control administrators and the university.
