The traffic lights in town are controlled by a computer system.The towns council os concerned about the reliability of the system.
Explain, using examples from the traffic light system, what is meant by reliability and why the town needs the system to be reliable.
Reliability is when something has to be trusted e.g. if a institution
installed a new computer system they would have to regularly check if its reliable
otherwise it could crash and peoples work could
get lost,
This is the same way
the traffic light computer system works but instead the affect it would have would be
more severe because if people were driving and all of a sudden the traffic
light computer system crashed and the traffic lights stop working people could
get in to accidents to prevent this they should check the computer system
regularly and do regular test on computer systems warn and people that it is
likely for the computer system to crash and they should be careful and be aware
of the traffic lights in case they stop
working.
