Which processing method is the most likely to be used for traffic lights, aircraft control and robots?
A
Batch processing
B
Real time processing
C
Interactive processing
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On the other hand, controlling a car engine has to deal with input events happening every thousandth of a second so a very fast computer is needed to do this-but both the traffic-light and the car engine computers are carrying out ‘real-time’ processing. Examples: Traffic lights.

Detailed explanation-2: -Real-time processing is the method where data is processed almost immediately. There’s no pause or waiting in this method. These systems process data as soon as they receive input and give the processed data as output. Because of this nature, real-time processing usually requires a continuous flow of data.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three main data processing methods-manual, mechanical and electronic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stream processing allows applications to respond to new data events at the moment they occur. In this simplified example, input data pipeline is processed by the stream processing engine in real-time.
