Project Deliverables
4
Problem OutlinePublic transportation faces problems with
pollution and high fuel prices.
Currently no electric bus made by any North American manufacturer.
5
PurposeThe purpose of this project is to provide a
flexible control system.
The system will provide an easy interface to add new electrical hardware.
Provide a GUI for the control system.
6
ScopeThe scope of this project is only to provide a
software control system.
The software control system will also be modular, so future software engineer students may add more features.
7
ObjectiveProvide a software foundation for later
software engineering students to build upon.
Provide a working software control system for the electrical hardware supplied.
8
ConstraintsThe major Constraint is with how much
hardware Electrodynamics is supplying.
No battery provided at this point.

Start-up PlanEstimation Plan: Formal techniques and tools will be used estimate, track
and evaluate the progress of the project (Rational Team Concert) RTC
Top-down approach is used to identify deliverables, sub-deliverables, up to the task level
Deliverables are grouped into a Work Breakdown Structure WBS
Tasks are implemented in a time-boxed iterations-sprint (2-4 weeks)
The progress of each task and its work package is tracked using automated project management tools
12
Start-up Plan - (Cont.)Staffing Plan: Three of us should contribute equally into the project, and
would be available for the whole duration of the project
Resource Acquisition Plan: Any required resources, such as hardware, software,
documentations, and any other type of resources, should be supplied by the client
Project Staff Training Plan: Educational sessions

Work Plan – (Cont.)Schedule Allocation:
16
Control PlanRequirement Control Plan We do not expect many changes in the requirements Changes are classified as a minor, or major changes Risks to be highlighted at the very beginning
Schedule Control Plan Some of the deliverables have a fixed due dates and it should
be respected Tasks are sized and implemented in their assigned sprints,
otherwise remaining work is carried over to next sprint as a technical debt
Planning tasks in short sprint is usually accurate
17
Control Plan – (Cont.)Quality Control Plan The over all system undergoes different type of verifications
tests Every component has a Functional Verification Test Plan – FVT Design reviews, Test Plan reviews, and Code reviews
Reporting Plan Tasks are placed in the sprint backlog, then assigned to team
members Team members report their progress of their individual
backlogs Automated tools are used for compute the sprint progress, and
the over all progress

Technical ProcessElectric Bus Management System (EBMS)
Technical System OverviewTools and Programming LanguageProcess Model
EBMS• The Electric Bus Management System (EBMS) is a
system designed to control electrical devices or systems of an electric bus or vehicle
19
EBMS Components• EBMS composed of several subsystems
• 2 Different Software Systemso Central Management System (CMS)o GUI (Dashboard, Admin UI)
• 2 Microcontrollerso Microcontroller to control Electric Motoro Microcontroller to interface with a Mechanical Device
used to simulate a bus driver
20
Devices Interacting with EBMS• 2 Devices
o Electric Motor (EBMS should be able to interact with any electrical device that can part of an electric bus)
o Mechanical Device that issues commands simulating a bus driver
21
GUI• 2 displays• Admin UI: simple console-like (Console Display)
display to make it easy to add components to the system and print messages
• Dashboard UI: Resembles the Dashboard of a car
22
CMS• Central component of the EBMS• Updates Dashboard Display• Sends commands to electrical devices (through a
microcontroller)• Receives commands from the driver simulator• Responds to commands issued through Admin UI
23
Microcontrollers• They are programmable chips that are used to
interact with electrical devices• Device Specific• CMS uses functions programmed into a
microcontroller to communicate with an electrical device hooked up to the microcontroller.

Iterative & Incremental Life Cycle Model
29
Tools and Programming LanguagesTools• IDE used to help with programming lower layer (microcontrollers)
Programming Languages• Lower Layer: C• Higher Layer: C++, Java, or C Sharp
Hardware• 2 microcontroller (for the electric motor and for simulating a driver)• Server Machine – install CMS & GUI on it (or virtual server)• Electric motor• Network Protocol (to communicate with microcontrollers)
