Be sure to support your response with specific examples taken from Chapter 18 in your textbook, the Listening Guides, and the Module 2…

Decision making using system modeling A closer analysis of chapter 5 shows that the author highlights an open-source software tool, EMA workbench, that has the capability of undertaking EMA and ESDMA modeling. The EMA workbench can be instrumental in creating a model that can serve a great deal in developing a policy for a smart city arrangement. One of the policy areas where EMA can be instrumental is in regard to traffic light placement. In this case, the workbench can be used to help in the execution of movement lights, especially in the face of crisis, and this will be enabled by smart data science technology system. In this case, an android gadget with speaking capabilities can be incorporated with the movement lights. The integration of speaking capabilities in the movement lights will help in reducing reaction time in the face of crises.
