Science, technology and future trends

Use precise words for a sample, a technology test, and an uncertain forecast.

Describe the observation

A count needs a defined sample and a clear measurement rule. Use these terms when you explain what the Valverde observers actually recorded. A difference between two lines is visible in the sample, but its cause is not yet known.

  • un campione di cento partenze per linea· a sample of one hundred departures per line
  • la soglia di cinque minuti· the five-minute threshold
  • la puntualità della linea A· line A’s punctuality
  • uno scarto tra le due linee· a difference between the two lines

Describe the possible intervention

The draft mentions equipment and a test, not completed improvements. Name the object, the proposed action, and the condition that must be met. An access review checks whether a new installation works for different users. A forecast remains a hypothesis until later evidence supports it.

  • un display con gli orari aggiornati· a display with updated times
  • una prova di priorità semaforica· a traffic-light priority test
  • una pensilina ombreggiata· a shaded shelter
  • una verifica dell’accessibilità prima dell’installazione· an access review before installation
