The new age of technology is upon us and it is also affecting our vehicles.

The next generation of cars will be controlled by AI computers inside our cars.

These computers will run different AI algorithms while driving our cars.

Our focus will be to help develop AI algorithms that will be able to drive in traffic jams.

The main goal of our project is to build a simulator that will enable testing of different AI algorithms.

These algorithms should control a car and drive it without making any car accidents in a traffic jam.

This will be done by running different experiments on our simulator and testing the effectiveness of each AI algorithm.

Client - This module enables a real user or an AI algorithm, to drive the car in the experiment while showing a first person view of the car.

Server-This module enables the experiment manager to create and perform an experiment. It Connects between all the clients and controls all the data concerning the current experiment.

Experiment manager - This module enables an admin user to create an experiment. It shows a bird's-eye view of the cars, and the experiment map, during the experiment.

Start of experiment – This event indicates a start of a new experiment, which the experiment manager created and started.

End of experiment – This event indicates that the current experiment is terminated and analyzing of the data should commence.

Control events- The system will respond to GUI events from the user controlling the car.

View's updates – Something changed in the experiment environment.

Connection – An event of creating a connection between a client/ experiment manager to the server .

Disconnection – The end of the connection between a client/ experiment manager to the server .

Reliability After a user performs an action, the server and all the views in the system will be updated according to that action.

UsabilityThe system should be user friendly and easy to use, users can participate in the experiment without any advanced knowledge or instructions.

Speed & ThroughputAfter a user performs an action it is updated in his view after at most 0.25 seconds, and after at most 0.5 seconds at 90% of all other views.

CapacityAn experiment can have at most 30 users connected simultaneously, of which at most 15 of them are AI users.

AvailabilityThe user should be able to use all UI functionality at all times.

PortabilityThe system will work on any computer running the operating system Windows XP or higher.

Use Case 1 – Controlling the carName: Controlling the carPrimary Actor: Regular userPre-Condition:

• experiment is created.• the user already entered the system.• the experiment manager started the experiment.

Post-Condition:• The car starts moving according to the user operation:

The location of the car changes in the system.• The views of all the users and the exp manager, changes

according to the action that occurred. Description: The user controls the movement of the car by

pressing the keyboard.Trigger: User presses the navigation keys in the key board.

Flow of events:1. Loop:

1. The user presses a navigation key in the keyboard.2. A new location of the car is computed according to the

user's command.3. A message that specified the new location of the car is

sent from the user's computer to the server.4. The server updates the exp Manager and the rest of the

users about the new location of the car.5. The exp Manager's and the user's views are changed

according to the movement of the car. Alternative flows: One of the messages between the server and the

clients didn't reach its destination, because of a communication problem.1. The message will be sent again.

1. The connection between the server and the client is lost.1. A proper message will appear on the screen.
