The stated intent, as provided in the presentation linked somewhere above, is to overcome a limitation with the current controller and software. The choice was between adding up to three new readers for every gate or replacing the controller board and database.
Perhaps the new controller board will be compatible with a future upgrade to the reader and cards such that the gate could be activated without rolling down a window but that was not the reason cited for this initial work.
