It then goes in that direction, except that it might run into obstacles. A guidance component is told when the car runs into obstacles, and will develop a plan to go around it. Other components control the speed of the engine and the steering, observe the speed of the wheels, and calculate the speed and direction of the car. They signal the guidance component when the car runs into an obstacle, and take instructions from the guidance component to go in a new direction. You are to design all aspects of the system except the guidance component, which will be contracted out according to your specifications.
Some customers are late in paying.
The overall business objective is to collect as many of these payments as possible by calling delinquent borrowers on the telephone. An important strategy is to give a priority to calls and to assign specific collectors based on various factors, including the amount past due, the number of payments past due, the number of prior delinquent payments, and customer demographics. Since it takes an average of three calls to reach a person, the system dials out on as many as twice the number of lines as there are collectors to take the call. Once the call is answered by a person, the computer assigns the call to a particular collector and displays a script and other related borrower information. Reservations may be wait-listed.
