  1. Building a Smarter Planet Lesson 2: Identifying sensors to make smart solutions

  2. Lesson objectives By the end of the lesson you should be able to: • Understand how RFID tags can be used to make our planet smarter; • Identify sensors that are used in real life problems that affect the whole world; • Come up with advantages and disadvantages to creating solutions through automation; • Understand the need combining human intervention with sensor systems to meet everyone’s needs.

  3. Identifying benefits RFID tags have not only been trialed in supermarkets, they have also been used for: • Dog and cat owners to track their pet even using Google Maps! Farmers also use them to track their prized cattle; • Prisons can have RFID chips embedded so that they can be traced when on parole; • Cat flaps can open when reading the RFID tag attached to your pet’s collar; • Tags attached to expensive products so that offenders can still be found; • New cars in Japan all have embedded RFID tags to assist with finding car theft suspects. There are many advantages and disadvantages of this technology. Based on the video you have just seen, evaluate the use of RFID tags for potential use in supermarkets: • Open the [RFID in supermarkets] document and find a partner to work with; • Move the statements under the correct advantage or disadvantage heading; • Adjust the statements vertically so that they are in order of importance; • Extension: Add four ideas of your own.

  4. Traffic congestion Are you able to solve problems? Can age old problems like traffic congestion be solved? • Open the Innov8 game and attempt to solve congestion problems; • Click on “Proceed without IBM ID”; • Enter your details using your email address; • Select the “Smart traffic” scenario; • Select “Other” in all drop down boxes; • In the Privacy section, TICK ALL BOXES; • Using the [Innov8 Log Sheet], provide screenshots of your progress and note down the feelings of the drivers.

  6. Traffic congestion If traffic congestion really isn’t your thing, Stockholm is the pace to be… • Visit the Driving change in Stockholm site; • Complete the [Stockholm sensor worksheet];

  8. Solving problems From your research of the Stockholm congestion system you identified some problems where the system may not work effectively. This is known as an “extenuating circumstance” • With your partner, look at your problems and decide on one of them that you have either no answer for or you have a good answer for; • Write down the potential problem on the whiteboard or use a post-it note and place it below this text:
