MAPS: Managed Assessment Portfolio System

In Part 1 of Wild Water Ride, you need to plan and develop a safety control system for a section of a new ride at Crashington Park. (In Part 2 you will create a presentation for Crashington - to persuade them that your system is the best.) The section of Crashington's ride which you need to design includes the following elements: * a channel down which boats move to the start of the ride * a control gate to allow boats into the system * a ramp to raise the boats up to a point where they can descend by gravity * a rest point where boats wait until the ride in front is clear * a control gate to allow the boats to move down the water channel * a sensor to identify when boats are at the centre of the channel and to activate a camera to take a photograph of the boat and its occupants * a further channel which boats pass along having travelled downwards, with a sensor to identify when the boat leaves the first channel and it is safe to allow another boat to descend Read the letter from Crashington in the Introduction file - and then read the Background file, before starting to plan your project.
