In this assignment, you will begin a threaded case study that will last throughout the program, with each assignment building on the previous one.
Imagine you are designing and developing an autonomous (driverless) taxi (your system-of-interest). The taxi will be ordered up by users (riders) similar to how Uber or Lyft work. The smartphone app will communicate with a dispatch center, which will command an available taxi to arrive at the rider’s location and transport the rider and any other passengers to the desired destination autonomously. You are responsible for the design of the taxi, not the smartphone app nor the dispatch.
Write a one sentence mission statement. Prepare a table listing the key stakeholders and their needs. Construct a context diagram showing how the taxi interfaces with the rider, dispatch center, environment, and other external systems.
Based on the mission statement, table of key stakeholders and their needs, and context diagram developed previously, write an example of each of the four types of requirements (functional, performance, design constraint, quality attributes).
Develop a sequence diagram for the nominal operation of a taxi ride, i.e., from ordering the taxi to arrival at the destination. Be prepared to correct previous artifacts based on what you discover.
Based on your previous artifacts, develop a 1st level functional architecture (hierarchy) for the autonomous taxi (i.e., the list of major functions the taxi must perform. When complete, construct a 2nd level hierarchy (subfunctions) for one of the top-level functions.
Develop a functional flow block diagram for the top-level functions that you identified. Note that all the functions should show up on the FFBD.
Develop a design structure matrix using the top-level functions that you identified on the diagonal and inputs and outputs of each function in the off-diagonal elements. Balance the top-level DSM with the context diagram you developed earlier by identifying how the external inputs and outputs relate to the functions on the diagonal.
