Abstract: The purpose of this study is to design and provide a pathway that will automatically operate when there is flood in a certain area where the prototype is placed, to help and provide convenience to the people that will pass by in the area. It is a closed loop system and fully automated device, which is composed of power source, water level sensor, floater valve, limit switches for up and down movements hydraulic motor with another two limit switches, hydraulic hoses, hydraulic cylinder and the pathway. The limitation of the study is that the load that the system can withstand is limited to one two persons in one are at the same time. It is recommended that in the inclusion of environmental measures, one to be considered is to seal the oil tank, hydraulic hose and the hydraulic cylinder to avoid the leaking and the engagement of the hydraulic oil into the flood water and to install an alarm or buzzer so that the people will be advised that the system is elevating or depreciating.
