The automatic barrier system is widely used in many applications such as parking lots, commercial premises and apartment block access. The problem arises in some situations where some traffic congestion happens at the gate and some minor accidents also occurred, which results in losses to the persons involved. One of the factors that cause the problems is because the attitude of the users who do not obey the instructions of the route stated by the authority. Pertaining to this, Automatic Barrier System is constructed with the objective to design and construct an automatic barrier system, which uses the inductive sensor. The system can be used to control the flow of vehicles at the entrance/exit of an area. The usage of inductive sensor can reduce the dependency on the human handling in controlling the barrier. The system is designed such that the vehicles will only be allowed to enter or exit the area by using the designate gate only. The implementation of this project covers the theories and applications of electronics devices to control DC motor as well as mechanical concepts on the barrier design.
