4. Tests
- The distance separating the sensors placed in each speed bump. This is a fixed value that we have called L.
- The time that each sensor of the pair controlled by a node sensor needs to be active, thus indicating the presence of a moving object. This is a value that can be varied by reprogramming the sensor nodes. We have called these values T1 (value of sensor 1 timer) and T2 (value of sensor 2 timer); T1 = T2.
