Actual exam question for CIMA's CIMAPRA19-P03-1 exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 5
[All CIMAPRA19-P03-1 Questions]

Smalltown had a problem with people parking cars on the town's mam shopping streets instead of in the nearby car parks The parked cars created congestion and made it difficult for delivery vehicles to unload Smalltown's local government had employed traffic wardens to enforce parking regulations by issuing parking fines to motorists who parked for more than the permitted 30 minutes.

The local government took further action to deal with this problem It banned parking on the busiest streets, it introduced parking charges in the remaining streets and it made it free to park m the town's car parks for up to two hours Fewer people now park cars on the streets because of the charges, but those who do generate significant revenues for the local government Fewer traffic wardens are required and so wage costs have reduced

The local goverment auditors have decided to carry out a value for money audit of the parking system

Which of the following is a measure of effectiveness?

Really? I doubt the revenues are actually up.

I recall a similar question where increased revenues were seen as a positive outcome, so option D could also be a measure of effectiveness.

Option B seems more about the well-being of the wardens rather than the overall effectiveness of the parking system, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember we discussed how reduced costs could be a sign of effectiveness too, which makes option C seem relevant.

I think option A might be the best measure of effectiveness since it directly addresses the congestion issue.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the most relevant measure of effectiveness would be whether the main shopping streets are no longer congested, since that was the original problem they were trying to solve. But I could see arguments for the other options as well, in terms of efficiency and cost savings. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, let's see. The key here is to focus on the objective of the changes, which was to reduce congestion on the main shopping streets. So the most direct measure of effectiveness would be whether the streets are no longer congested. I'm going to go with option A.

I'm a little confused by this question. The answer choices seem to be talking about different aspects of the parking system, but I'm not sure which one is the best measure of effectiveness. I might need to re-read the passage a few times to make sure I understand the core issue.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I think I'd go with option A - using Cloud Dataflow with a sliding time window to compute the moving average and send an alert if it drops below 4000.

I think the key is that the main streets are no longer congested. That's the real measure of success here. Anything that reduces traffic and makes the town more accessible is a win in my book.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Increased revenue doesn't necessarily mean the system is more effective. What's the point if people are still parking on the streets and paying the fines?

I agree, the lack of congestion on the main streets is the best indicator that the parking system is working as intended. Reduced wage costs for traffic wardens is also a good sign.
