Abstract

The technology using the microcontroller can help humans to solve many matters in automatically process or activity. In this project, it used for replacing human energy in controlling traffic and ramp at terminal .It is because that human capability is limited and easy to being careless. Due to overcome those problem, a systematic system should be built to make sure that problem such as miss counting vehicles and ramp controlling due to water level can be solve. This project is a prototype which can be an idea to upgrade the traffic and ramp control system at Penang ferry terminal for being more systematic and efficient. Traffic control is important at the terminal because it controlling the vehicles to enter and out from the ferry services. The ramp structure is a structure which connecting between the ferry terminal and transport ferry. It's function as entering and outgoing way for pedestrians and vehicles such as motorcycle and cars to the ferry services in safely. The ramp parts have the main structure, DC motor and detect switch at the terminal. The ramp controller in the control room are including ramp controller, traffic controller, counting sensor and water level sensor. For this project, the Microcontroller can reduce the cost of materials and human energy compare to PLC.
