Pedestrian Boom Gate System
Problem
School crossing congestion
Large student groups
Fixed traffic lights are inefficient
Proposed Solution
Arduino-controlled traffic lights
Servo-operated boom gate
Centre median installation
Mechanical Design
Warren truss boom arm
90 degree rotation
Counterweight reduces motor load
Materials
Fibreglass composite arm
Lightweight and replaceable
Reduced vehicle damage on impact
Control System
Button activates crossing
Green to orange to red sequence
Peak school priority timing
Safety Benefits
Physical vehicle barrier
High visibility light strips
Longer crossing time during school peaks
