This report presents the procedures, findings, and recommendations arising from the research, design, construction, and testing of a small-scale prototype Automated Road Closure Gate. Road closure gates currently used by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) are comprised of a gate that is hinged to a post. These gates are used to close roads to vehicular traffic during hazardous travel conditions brought on by inclement weather (i.e., snowstorms, ice storms, etc.). The current road closure gates used in South Dakota are often unsafe and difficult to operate. This report will assist the South Dakota Department of Transportation in determining whether a drive unit in combination with the new gate design (Project No. PH0902(00)55) is a cost-effective investment.
