Claim One:
1. An apparatus comprising: at least four discrete sensors, at least one controller, at least one non-volatile memory device for storing and retrieving data, wherein the discrete sensors placed along at least one transport track or at least one path, wherein discrete sensors are connected to controller, wherein at least one controller is connected and will have access to at least one non-volatile memory for storing and retrieving data, wherein controller will activate and monitor the discrete sensors and based on sensor status the controller will calculate a real-time profile of a moving object along the track or path, wherein controller will activate and monitor the discrete sensors and based on sensor status the controller will calculate a real-time profile of the traffic created by moving objects along the track or path, wherein controller will analyze real-time object profiles and calculate acceptable range of object profiles, wherein controller will analyze real-time traffic profiles and calculate acceptable range of traffic profiles, wherein controller will store acceptable range of object profiles and acceptable range of traffic profiles in at least one non-volatile memory, wherein controller in real-time will compare the real-time object profile to respective acceptable range of object profiles stored in non-volatile memory, and based on results of the comparison the controller will, without intervention by an operator, execute real-time controls directly affecting moving object based on whether a moving object is recognized and accepted by controller, or rejected by controller with an objective to prevent rejected object from being processed, wherein controller in real-time will compare the real-time traffic profile to respective acceptable range of traffic profiles stored in non-volatile memory, and based on results of the comparison the controller will, without intervention by an operator, execute real-time controls directly affecting traffic based on whether a traffic condition is recognized and accepted by controller, or rejected by controller with an objective to prevent rejected traffic condition from being processed, wherein the major components of the apparatus including controller, sensors, non-volatile memory are interconnected as a real-time closed-loop system, and the system will directly and automatically control motion of an object and objects within a traffic without intervention by an operator.
