Abstract

This paper describes a solution to the elderly collective needs of assistance for the easy access to any type of buildings. The main purpose of the project is to provide a system which contributes to make easier the life of those who have problems of autonomy in their life’s. Nowadays, this part of the population experiences some problems when they use the traditional keys to access their own homes. The project shows how to implement an access control system that will face up this question with new technologies and following ‘Design for all’ rules. The ICT’s (Information and Communications Technologies) used are biometry and Radiofrequency IDentification (RFID). This combination makes this work one of the most innovative in the state of the art. The user, which must carry with him a tag, will be identified by the RFID reader and then the system will verify the identity by biometric pattern. The biometric pattern used in this project is the palm’s veins.
