question introduction
A car manufacturer includes an event data recorder in their cars. This device begins recording when the car’s sensors detect a sudden change in speed. The data captured can be analysed when required. A sample of data is shown below.
Event dataSample
-----------------+------------
speed (mph) 58.2
accelerator (%) 42
brake (%) 0
seatbelt on True
part a
During the analysis stage boundaries are identified.
State two boundaries for this task.
1.
2.
answer part 2
part b (i)
Use a programming language of your choice to define a suitable record (class) data structure for the data shown above.
(edit the reading.java file in the project)
part b (ii)
Use a programming language of your choice to define a variable that can store the details of 200 readings. Use the record (class) data structure you made in part (i)
(edit the carData.java file in the project)
additional part
Create a method to read or import the values from the readings.csv file.
(edit the carData.java file in the project)
part c
Create a method to find the maximum speed (and display it)
(edit the carData.java file in the project)
