The track specifications are as follows:
•The track width is maintained to be 40 cm and is bounded by two black lines 2 cm thick.
•The start line is indicated with the help of a white tape. Here is where the guided leading vehicle is placed, and right behind it will be the guided vehicle.
• The End Line will also be identified with a 1 cm wide white tape.
• The Leading Vehicle shall slow down after crossing the Stop Line I (1m beyond the End Line, as shown in figure 2.1) and then completely stop without crossing Stop Line II (3m beyond the End Line).
• The GV shall also come to a complete stop without making a collision with the LV.
• Both Stop Lines will be marked with 2 cm wide red tape.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRACK
• As per the given track measurement, the turn radius was carefully measured and steps
were taken to construct the designed track on the floor.
• Using black tape the track boundaries were done and care was taken to maintain the
40cm track width.
• A disadvantage of constructing this track on the floor was the uneven surface. To overcome this limitation, the track floor was covered with the help of white masking
tape.
• This also helped in implementing a completely white surface to make the feasibility of the sensors much more effective and reliable as undesirable detection of black
spots within the track were kept to a minimum.
•The track had to be kept at a constant level mainly for two reasons. One was to avoid the front caster wheel from being getting stuck within the crevices of the tile floor, and second reason was to combat the unevenness of surfaces and to resist
incommodious acceleration at different parts of the track.
• Finally, the black tape had to be reinforced with the help of plastic tape to maintain a firm grip with the floor, especially around the turns.
