Answer to Problem 10.1P
A traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect the number of vehicles, it is a closed loop system.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
To consider a Traffic light as a device
A device or process is said to be in a closed loop if it has a feedback control system and it is an open loop if it does not have any feedback control system. Traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect the number of vehicles, it is a closed-loop system.
Conclusion:
Traffic light can be either closed or open loop system. If it has a sensor to detect number of vehicles, it is a closed loop system.
