(54)	A vehicle entry/exit control system

(57) A vehicle entry/exit control system 10 comprises a camera 14 arranged to view the face of a driver and a computer which compares the viewed image of the driver with a store of images of authorised drivers to identify the driver. The details of a transaction conducted by the vehicle within the entry controlled area are then printed and the computer prints a facsimile of the drive'r signature or the facial image of the driver on the printed record of the transaction.
Other biometric sensing methods such as iris recognition, fingerprint or DNA analysis can be used.
