To prevent disease transmission, a commercial poultry farm uses an automated bio-security disinfection portal at its entry boundary.

An automated vehicle disinfection portal.

The portal control system consists of:

  • An ultrasonic distance sensor to detect an approaching vehicle.
  • An RFID transponder reader to read the unique ID tag mounted on the vehicle's windshield.
  • A local database of approved delivery contractors with valid sanitation clearance.
  • An actuator connected to a solenoid valve that controls the high-pressure disinfectant spray nozzles.

Describe what the control system does when the ultrasonic distance sensor detects an arriving vehicle.
