Abstract :
This paper concentrates on a single major element used in rail type systems, specifically a turnstile, designed for the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) - one of the largest transit systems in the world. The paper describes the design process that was used in the development of this turnstile. The turnstile was selected for this subject because it is the main revenue collecting element used by the commuting public in the NYCTA system. The main function of the turnstile is to collect revenue, i.e., fares
