The mechanism is driven by a geared slow speed motor and controlled by an electronic timer circuit. The car waits for a preset time at the top and bottom of the incline before being slowly lowered down or pulled up the track.

A similar mechanism is used to control the large horizontal traveling fence gates that are seen at many industrial facilities. If you could get a look at one of these or find a used one a lot of design hints could be gained. There is a considerable a
