Light Sensor Ideas
Wrap small flags of black electrical tape around the cabling wire that
the tram will traverse. Program the tram to detect the tape, beep a
signal, and pause for a sightseeing stop so that passengers can take
pictures of the view before finishing the route.

Flashlight Control
Program the tram to stop and play a warning series of beeps when the
light sensor detects the bright light from a flashlight. The flashlight
could be a warning beacon to signal high winds or bad weather, thus
sending the tram back without making any more photo stops.
