Description:

We are seeking bids to deliver 14 automatic field gates to be deployed on land managed by the University around Cwm Ystwyth, near Aberystwyth. The gates shall be standard 12-foot field gates modified to provide the following functionality. More details are provided in the following sections. A gate needs to automatically open when a recognised vehicle arrives at the gate and then automatically close when the vehicle leaves the gate area. The gate shall not open when an unrecognised vehicle approaches but must provide a mechanism to manually open it, as well as provide a way to fit a padlock to the gate to prevent its opening. Remote operations must also be provided, using LoRaWAN. The status of the gate must be reported when its status changes and on a regular basis (configurable), using LoRaWAN. Similarly, the passing of a recognised vehicle must be reported, using LoRaWAN. The gates must be self-powered (using solar panels). The gates must be safe to animals and humans.
