Abstract

Described is a smart activated rinse scaffold (e.g., arch). The arch includes multiple independent spray manifolds. Each spray manifold includes its own independently operate valve and corresponding nozzles that are configured to dispense fluid at different rates. A sensor system is included for determining a speed of an approaching vehicle and opening a valve to at least one of the spray manifolds based on the speed of the approaching vehicle. For example, a larger amount of volume is dispensed per time by a fast manifold on a fast approaching vehicle, while a smaller amount of volume of fluid is dispensed per time on a slowly approaching vehicle. Since the vehicles pass at different rates and the manifolds are opened to correspond to the rate, an approximately equal total volume of fluid is dispensed on different vehicles, regardless of the rate at which they pass through the rinsing arch.
