Homework: Information Technology
Write research paper on Smart Highways. The details are down below.
Conduct research on the use of Smart systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) as it relates to Smart Highways. For this homework, a Smart Highway would have many integrated Smart systems, such as
• a Smart Vehicle System
• a Smart Signage system
• a Smart Surveillance system
• Smart Roadway system
• a Smart Safety system
• a Smart Weather system
Write at least a 12 pages Word document excluding the title and reference page detailing a Smart Highway that includes the above six of the integrated Smart systems identified in your research and at least three requirements for each of the six integrated Smart systems. Your paper must include at least seven references along with their in-text citations. Research must include scholarly references but can also include YouTube videos, websites, blogs, etc., on the Smart system(s). Also view YouTube videos on Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality to extend your research on how Smart systems may evolve over time.
More details: The paper should include multiple topic sections/paragraphs with a specific focus. Make sure your paper flows logically. In your paper, provide the following:
I. An Introduction paragraph describing the homework and the concept of a Smart Highway. Paraphrase the definition of a Smart system and the IoT. Also, list the Smart integrated systems that you will include in the paper.
II. A topic section that describes the overall Smart Highway (with an appropriate section Heading) and the basic specifications that drive the development of that Smart Highway.
i. What is its purpose?
ii. What operations it performs?
iii. What are its inputs (resources, interfaces, when used)?
iv. What are its outputs (interfaces, data)?
v. What are the processes?
vi. How does the technology integrate within the system?
vii. How important is technology to the system?
viii. The system's complexity/cost/feasibility.
ix. Any constraints or risks found during the research.
x. How the various technologies integrate to accomplish the system goals.
Conclude the section with any potential functionality that might be added in the future based on enhanced technology (this may come from your research or from other technologies like Augmented or Virtual Reality).
III. A separate section for each integrated Smart system (with an appropriate section Heading) that includes a description of that integrated Smart system and its purpose.
IV. Conclude your paper with a Findings section that summarizes the important findings from your research. This might include important information from your research or might include a few Smart systems that contain the most critical requirements.
