I NEED a short answers and/or review of my answer in comment.
Q1. List the principal (high level) activities (no less than 18 and no more than 24) that would be required to accomplish this effort
Q2. 1. Construct both a architecture decomposition view of the elements in the software architecture and a work breakdown structure down to level-5 based on these activities and add additional activities, if appropriate, to get to level-5.


problem statement is


This effort does not include requirements or plans for developing the hardware.

The DSS will have 5 major software components:

1. Software controls and indicators that sense and control the steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals, shift control, (manual shift optional), windshield wiper control, cruise control system, headlights on/off, high beam/low beam, horn, speedometer, tachometer, temperature indicator, oil pressure indicator, gasoline indicator, GPS system, radio/tape player/CD stereo system, air conditioning and heating controls, and any other features you may want to include. The controls and indicators will be driven by and sensed by software.

2. A projection system to provide realistic views from the windshield, side windows, rear window, and mirror displays. The projection system will be driven by software.

3. In addition, the DSS simulator will be mounted on a hydraulic system controlled by equations of motion to provide a realistic feel of driving. The hydraulic system will be controlled by software.

4. The DSS software will provide an instructor’s station that will allow an instructor to set up driving scenarios, monitor student sessions, and create various driving conditions in real time (such as obstacles in the road, slick roads, rain, snow, fog, sharp curves, changing speed limits, and so forth). The instructor’s station will be driven and controlled by software.

5. Driving scenarios and student scores will be retained in the DSS data repository.

Your DSS simulator might have various modes of operation for various user classes controlled by software: beginning driver, safety refresher, law enforcement, race course, off-line diagnostics, maintenance, etc.

The software components of THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM are, in COCOMO terms, semi-detached and of moderate risk. The initial versions of THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM shall be delivered 24 months following contract award to the operational sites. As part of the delivery process, there will be a two-month beta test period. THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM shall be delivered to the motor vehicle centers located at 150 different sites – three sites for each State in the United States – all 50 states. One of the sites will always be the state capital. Please note that the configuration of the sites is not uniform – the computer hardware/operating software is not standard at anyone of these sites and you will need to develop an integration and test laboratory for this effort.

The Offerer shall provide a two-day training program at each site within a three-month period after delivery of THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM and the Offerer shall provide post deployment software support for six (6) months after delivery of THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM. The Offerer is required to provide innovative ways to develop the software (including the use of COTS, Re-use/NDI, and outsourcing besides custom coding). Please note that at least 25 percent of the delivered THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM software (all five components) must be custom software to ensure a value-added winning solution. The total amount of code delivered will not exceed 120,000 Source Lines of Code (120 KSLOC) and not be less than 90,000 Source Lines of Code (90 KSLOC). The offerer is allowed to provide innovative ways to deliver and install the software (e.g. providing installation scripts via down loads) and to deliver the training for THE DRIVING SIMULATOR SYSTEM (e.g., interactive video or web-based). However, ten sites shall be provided training by instructors physically located at customer sites.

A unique requirement of the proposal effort is that each bidder shall submit a project management plan along with their response (proposal) to the RFP

Define Project Scope
Develop High-Level Schedule
Identify and Document Stakeholders’ Involvement
Develop Communications Plan
Establish Benefits and Budget
Define Governance and Resourcing
Define Management Approach
Develop High Level Risk Plan
Produce Project Initiation Plan

. Develop an Architecture Decomposition View of the
product architecture (ADV) and allocate requirements
and interfaces to the elements of the ADV
2. Develop a work breakdown structure that includes
work elements for the ADV modules with allocated
requirements and interfaces for each element of work
3. Develop work packages for the tasks in the WBS
4. Define a schedule of objectively measurable
milestones
5. Prepare a schedule network and identify the critical
path (or paths)

• risk mitigation plan
• maintainace plan
• training plan at each site
• quality assurance standards
