The article presents the approach of designing the system of automatic access to the premises of increased danger with the use of the intelligent electric drive. A block diagram of the automatic access system using video analysis and pattern recognition is given. The possible variants of electric drive implementation, the measuring unit and the control system using intelligent technology are considered. The system task results are got for operating intelligent electric drive which implements the automatic access to the premises of increased danger based on fuzzy logic and neural networks for pattern recognition. The illustrative example of counteracting with the use of intelligent electric drive is given for unauthorized access to the premises of increased danger.
