Homework

1. Explain the role of sensors in a self-parking car system.


Describe how the sensors help the car park without driver intervention.

2. List two advantages and two disadvantages of self-parking systems in cars.


Discuss how these advantages and disadvantages impact driver experience
and vehicle safety.

3. Describe the process of adaptive cruise control in cars.


Include how sensors and actuators work together to maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
4. Using a flowchart, outline the decision-making process in adaptive cruise
control.
Show the steps that the system follows when the distance from another car is
either safe or unsafe.

5. What are the main functions of the controller in an automated irrigation


system used in agriculture?
Explain how the controller interacts with sensors, transmitters, and actuators.

6. Identify three advantages of using an automated irrigation system in


agriculture.
Explain why these advantages are particularly useful for large or remote
farming areas.

7. Discuss the main disadvantages of automated irrigation systems.


Describe how these disadvantages might impact the system's effectiveness or
cost.
8. List and explain the function of three different sensors used in an automated
weather station.
How does each sensor contribute to the overall data collected by the
weather station?

9. Describe the operation of a tipping bucket rain gauge in an automated


weather station.
Include details on how it collects, measures, and records rainfall data.
