Time-Based Systems

Time-based systems are mechanisms that operate or make decisions based on specific timing or schedules. They use clocks, timers, or synchronized signals to ensure processes occur at precise moments. Examples include digital clocks, traffic light controls, or communication protocols that require data to be sent or received at exact intervals. These systems help synchronize operations, improve coordination, and prevent conflicts, especially in environments where timing is critical for safety, efficiency, or accuracy. Essentially, they rely on accurate timing to function correctly and maintain order within complex systems.
