H CS - Environmental impact

​Aims

We are learning about how the use of modern intelligent systems impacts the environment. Specifically Smart heating systems, Smart traffic control systems and Car management systems

Achievements (theory)

• I can explain how the use of modern intelligent systems such as smart heating, smart traffic control systems and car management systems can positively impact the environment compared to traditional systems.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not an example of an intelligent system?

• Self-driving vehicle

• Rescue robot

• Scientific calculator

• Smart digital assistant

Dropdown

A smart heating system can be controlled with

Select answer

Specimen paper

Describe an intelligent system used on a car journey that is beneficial for the environment. Justify your answer. (2 marks)

Specimen paper

• autonomous driving (1) is more fuel efficient due to system controlling accelerating/ decelerating and detecting/anticipating braking (1)

• intelligent route planning (1) reduces driving time by monitoring external factors such as accidents/volume of traffic which reduces fuel consumption (1)

• tracking parking (1) reduces driving time searching for space and therefore fuel consumption (1)

• engine management system (1) optimises engine efficiency reducing fuel consumption (1)

• intelligent road traffic management systems (1) adjusting speed limits to optimise traffic flow reducing fuel consumption (1)

• any other valid response
