So just something that’s been on my mind. At my workplace there’s an automatic road barrier that lifts up and down when vehicles arrive. However, it’s not used for a carpark system when people wave their tickets or something. It just goes up and down when a vehicle shows up.
However, it sometimes goes up for when say a pushcart is being rolled over whereas it wouldn’t for a guy pushing a bin.
So tldr, how does an automatic road barrier decide that yes, a vehicle is coming, and therefore opens up?
Huh, so that’s a completely new concept I’ve learned today. Time to do more reading. Thanks!
Check the road in front of the gate. Those loops are usually installed after the asphalt so there should be a loop patched up with tar a bit smaller than a footprint of an average car.
