Transducer for switched reluctance motor

I have built the circuit shown in the attached image. It is a switching circuit for a switched reluctance motor. I need to add some sort of transducer to improve the circuit and then explain how to integrate it into the circuit. I'm just looking for suggestions as to what transducer I can pick for this kind of motor.

I picked a tachometer to measure the speed of the motor, but does anyone have any other suggestions as to what I can use?

I don't actually have to build it into the circuit, I just have to explain how I would.

How would I go about integrating a slotted opto into the circuit?

A slot opto also requires the addition of a 'shutter' type wheel on the motor shaft or revolving point, the slots of the wheel is tailored to the resolution needed.
If rpm control is to be implemented using a transducer of any kind requires a comparison between the rate commanded and the feedback, with correction accordingly.
