Environmental Impact of Intelligent Systems
Traffic Control
Vehicles consume greater amounts of fuel when they are constantly accelerating and braking in traffic jams.
The optimum speed for low fuel consumption and low emissions is between 45 and 65 miles per hour.
Vehicles are considered one of the main contributing sources of greenhouse gas. Studies in the European Union showed that transport causes 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Intelligent transport systems use software and hardware, along with information and communications technologies, to improve the efficiency and safety of transport networks.
hey use a variety of information from cameras and sensors, along with control of traffic signals, to try to keep traffic moving, reducing the amount of harmful emissions.
Cars with individual navigation systems use satellite information on traffic flow to guide drivers away from traffic congestion and on to more free-flowing routes.
Heating Systems
Monitoring the activity in rooms can mean that the smart system adjusts the heating up or down depending on whether there is unusual activity in the house.
Using activity sensors, some smart systems learn the temperatures that you prefer in certain rooms and at what times.
Smart heating systems use a variety of ways to control the amount of heat required in our homes.
The thermostat is connected to wi-fi and can be manually controlled by using an ap on your phone.
You can turn the heating system off if you are not going home or to turn it on so that it is at the optimum temperature if you are coming home early.
Intelligent Systems
An intelligent system is a machine with an embedded, Internet-connected computer that has the capacity to gather and analyze data and communicate with other systems.
Other criteria for intelligent systems include the ability to learn from experience, security, connectivity, the ability to adapt according to current data and have remote monitoring and management functions.
Car Management Systems
Start-stop systems automatically shut down the engine when the car is not moving — this reduces the amount of time the engine spends idling, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
The car automatically re-starts when the accelerator is pressed, which is most advantageous for vehicles that spend significant amounts of time waiting at traffic lights or frequently come to a stop in traffic jams.
A number of different car management systems are used to reduce the impact on the environment.
Engine control units use sensors to ensure the engine’s air/fuel ratio can be controlled very accurately, ensuring optimum fuel consumption and a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
