2. Teaching
2.1
Presentation of teaching
The traffic management bench allows:
Signalling of passageway for pedestrians: from cabled logic to programmed logic
Detection of vehicle presence at the entry to a car park: the Grafcet
Study of lane A: day-time operation: the time-delay
Study of lane A: night-time operation: astable switch
Manual operation of traffic lights: step by step
Management of available spaces: counting
Comprehensive study of crossroads traffic management
It is intended for the following channels:
Professional
Secondary
Universities
Engineering schools
Electrotechnical
Various Production
Some exercises that can be carried out using the traffic management bench: they
consist of a teacher's document with answers and a trainee document.
Exercise 1: Signalling a passageway for pedestrians lane A
Exercise 2: Detection of vehicle presence at the entry to a car park
Exercise 3: Study of lane A in "day-time" operation (example given on p.7 to 14)
Exercise 4: Study of lanes A and B in "night-time" operation
Exercise 5: Study of lane A in "manual" operation
Exercise 6: Management of spaces in a car park
