Real time Information

Real time data is one of the gretest changes made by advancing  technology avaliable to us ; it  denotes information that is delievered immediately after collection. Thereis no delay in the timeliness of the information provided and its uploaded constantly. Realtime data is often used for navigation, tracking,Traffic, Ticket booking , Parcel tracking and news.  Real time informationns palys a huge part in the daily lives of eveyr individual whether they view the information themselves or hear about it through another individual.

Advantages of real-time information.
The system is immediately updated therefore providing vital information for people. For example passenger waiting for Train or flight.
There will be (in most cases) no processing lag caused by the system.

If purchasing ticket, that same ticket cannot be sold to some else after already being sold to someone.
The weather forecast is an example of real time data. You can use real data to find the weather report in your area. The weather report is often updated online, therefore making people aware of the weather condition and making them plan for the day. The use of weather forecast through real-time isn’t just shown on websites and T.V. it can also be used within mobiles provided the mobiles have application to allow this. As our world develops, it’s easier for almost every member of the public to gain access one way or the other to real time information. I personally check the weather updates on BBC before school especially during winter. If it’s going to be a snowy day or a rainy day, I get prepared by getting my willies on, rain coat and umbrella.
Another example is the information screen which you can see in the airport, bus stop and train stations. This is very important because it use in keeping customers informed about delays and scheduled changes. Though public address system have traditionally been the communication system of choice with familiar announcer calling a common sound in most railway station. But LCD screens provide railway and station operators an ideal platform for keeping customer informed and displaying timetable information, news of delays and scheduling changes.
Advantages of using information screen.
The great advantage of using a LCD screen is for the immediacy. As soon as the station hears of delays, this information can be uploaded to the screen for the customer to see.

Disavantages of using Information screen.
If the information is displayed for public screen viewing for example in an airport , You will have to keep referring back to the source to find out the main information rather than a beneficial paper based copy for your personal viewing. Going back to the screen may prove time consuming.
