An automatic or movable bridge is a special type of bridge that moves to allow passage (usually) for boats or large ships. In this project automatic bridge is fully automated by using PLC. Automatic bridge is operated in countries like United Kingdom, United States of America and Howrah Bridge in India. The main objective of this project is to allow passage to huge gigantic cargo ships on the canals or lagoons because for them bridge can't be build because of their shape and size. The idea is to automate the process of ship detection, opening or closing of a bridge, controlling the signals and road barriers. The purpose of the research is to replace the manual system which is currently used. The ABB PLC is used to mechanize the system. Sensors such as Proximity are used to provide input to the system. And motor such as servo and DC motor serves as an output. Ladder diagram as a programming language is used to control the whole system between the input and output. With the help of Ultrasonic sensor, Proximity sensor the arrival and leaving of the system is Monitored and bridge is operated accordingly.
Due to versatile growth of software industry, we need to invent and adapt new technologies to reduce the production cost and to increase the quality. Now a days the industry is moving towards the 100% of automation testing and is being done by the different kind of users. The same test script will be executed by the domain expert instead of a technical expert, so we can't expect him to understand the complexity of scripts and to relate the test script with business scenarios. To simply the users view of automation testing we need a layer to hide the technical implementation and to introduce some simplified way to understand the test script and relate with business scenarios, if needed he should be able to modify the test scripts without having the technical knowledge. The gap between the customers' expectations and the actual product behavior will be reduced using this proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
