Use case template

Paris, 26th June 2012

Pre-condition What is necessary to test it (set-up, data necessary).

Example:

The driver booked the EV for the period he wants to book the charging point. The EV is working properly and it’s not already 100% charged.

Actors List of actors involved. Actors and actions are defined on a separate table at the beginning of the document.

Example: The driver, the smartphone application, the charging point. Services involved To be defined in common for the 4 projects:

MOLECULES the 7 services from the proposal: EBIS, ESS, ITEM, PECA, PERA, PTP, NSE

smartCEM services: EV-navigation, EV-efficient driving, EV-charging station management, EV-sharing management, EV-trip management.

Trigger Which events trigger the actions to be executed Basic path/Main Flow Step by step action/event list.

Example:

1. The driver is login in the charging point reservation application using a smartphone.

2. The driver selects the start and end time for the reservation period.

3. The smartphone application selects the available charging points in range for the preselected time period. [3.a]

4. The driver selects one charge point and books it.

Post-condition Status at the end of execution

Exception path/Alternate Flow

Actions/situations that can prevent the use case to execute properly.

Example:

3.a [There are no available charging points in range for the booking period]

3.a.1 The system will suggest the closest time period when a charging point in range is available.

3.a.2 The flow continues with step 4.

Indicators List of indicators involved and data to be gathered

IN002BCN Free parking allowed to EVDescription Overview:

Free parking granted in regulated on-street parking spaces

Purspose:

To encourage the purchase of EV

Details:

Xavier owns an EV and profits of the multiple incentives available for this type of vehicles. Being a Barcelona citizen and paying the local road tax to Barcelona city council (for which applies a reduction, too), he is granted to park in regulated parking areas, named “Green Zones”, on the street.

Xavier registered to Live Office when he purchased his car, and got a card, the Live card, which identified him as an EV owner and grants him with free parking and free recharges.

When he needs to park in a Green Zone, he identifies himself as an EV owner in the ticketing machine using his Live card and gets a ticket for the next 2 hours at no cost.

SH001GPR Frequent mobilityVersion 1.0Author MOPeasyDescription Overview:

A commuter uses an EV- sharing service to go from home to work and vice versa

Purspose:

From Social / Communication point of view: To make employees aware of their Carbon FootPrint (CFP)

From Functional / Customer experience point of view: To drive a shared EV to the final destination.

From Technical / Payment point of view: To pre-register users and bill their use of EV vehicles reserved with the MOPeasy system

Details:

Giulia works in a company who is promoting the reduction of CO2 emissions. For this reason it has reached an agreement with a local carsharing operator whose cars are electric cars. Giulia has enrolled the program because she is very concern about climate change and finds the carsharing service very convenient for her trips to/from work.

She finds the day to day use easy thanks to the good HelpDesk offered by the carsharing provider.

Giulia books her EV in the EVAT (Electric Vehicle Availability Table) for the next morning and gets her booking confirmation in her smart phone. Additionally, she receives alerts in her smartphone every time any traffic incident occurs.

Whenever she finds any damage in the EV, she fires the “damage report” application on her smart phone, takes a picture of the damage, and sends all the information to the reservation system.

She can check her carbon footprint and, at the end of the month, the COO of the company gets detailed stats about the corporate CFP as well as electricity consumption for charges (from local electricity provider) and total carbon savings.

SP001BER Sharpooling

Description Overview:

A user chooses an EV sharing service and picks up another passenger on his way to minimize his CO2 footprint

Purpose:

To provide a ride sharing service for EV car-sharing users

Details:

Peter is a software engineer and enthusiastic about technological innovations and trends. He always uses the most recent technologies in his private and professional life.

Costs play a minor role. Quality and service have their price he is willing to pay.

Peter lives in Berlin-Schöneberg and in addition to his annual subscription to the PT he uses Greenwheels car sharing services. He is a registered member in the MOLECULES sharepooling community, which means that he offers a ride free of charge to people who need a ride when driving Greenwheels E-Cars.

For his friends Peter is the main contact person for computer problems. Yesterday he repaired the PC of a colleague and plans to bring it back to his colleague living in Berlin-Lichtenberg after work. To transport the computer easily, he decides to choose an EV from Greenwheels.

He books an EV with the MOLECULES App and uses the car in order to return the computer.

On his way he receives the information that Paul looks for a ride to Lichtenberg, too. Paul, a geography student, has a learning meeting with fellow students in a friends flat. Being a registered member in the MOLECULES sharepooling community he informs the other members who are on their ways that he needs a ride to Lichtenberg.

Peter gets a request from the MOLECULES system if he would like to pick up Paul. The advantage for Peter is the reduction of his personal CO2 emissions footprint.

Peter confirms the requests and on his way he collects Paul and sets him off at his destination. Then he moves to his colleague and brings the computer back. After returning the EV to the starting station he walks back home.
