3. Brief Discussion

 

The train will pass the departure gate and it will increase speed. When it passes the approach gate, it will slow down, the gate will come down, the LED lights on the gate will start to flash, and the LED lights on the sensors will toggle. When the train started moving from a stop, it would jump from the force of acceleration, and sometimes derailing the train. To solve this we simply turned the train around so it would jump when it came to a stop. This didn’t derail it as much.

 

Obstacles overcome: Train derailment on the EC assignment, Malfunctioning hardware sensors on both.
