Project Background
In a world that is becoming more and more integrated with technology year after year, there arises a need in the automotive industry to have a scalable platform for these integrations. The background of this project for CSE 435, Software Engineering at Michigan State University, is to emulate the necessary documentation and demonstrations that go into a scalable automotive system that is being proposed to a customer, in this case the customer is Mr. Eric Wilder of Ford Motor Company.
Project Description
The project at hand is the Scalable Cruise Control (SCC) system. The system's objective is to provide a platform that reduces functionality overlap as much as possible for the integration of potential innovations that come in the future. Another objective that the system accomplishes is security, the protection of hacking while maintaining key non-functional factors
as debuggability, extensibility and scalability, testability, and portability/re-usability. The system must be able to operate with simple cruise or cruise with following distance management, with or without Automatic Emergency Braking.
​
Included in the project is the Software Requirements Specification document for the customer and anyone involved in the development of the system, a prototype to demonstrate the functionality, a description of the team and the roles of each person, as well as an exclusive personal page for the team to access documents and information.
