Design and Analysis of a Remote Sensing Car Speed on a Runway Based Programmable Logic Controller

Prof. Dr. Youssef I. Mohammed 

Programmable logic control (PLC) has many definitions according to application or function. It is a device that has the ability to program and execute many processes at the same time and it has a wide range of applications in many scientific fields. This paper presents the design and analysis for a car speed measurement on a run away by using remote sensing sensor. This technique is implemented using ultra sonic sensors. This design can be described by three main parts: theory of PLC and measurement methods, the software design of PLC and method calculation for car speed measurement. Finally, after many runs, the accuracy of the measurement is increased. Satisfying results are obtained. That explains the ability to depend on this design in practice implementation as fully remote sensing car speed measurements.
