The FGC system can either serve as the first means of data collection, a replacement for an existing data collection mechanism, or as a complement to such a mechanism. \\ \end{tabular} \caption{Fenceless Grazing System Scope} \label{fig:system_scope} \end{figure} \subsection{System overview} \subsubsection{System context} At present, despite the continued industrialization in numerious other indestries, animal farming replies on human labor to manage and herd farm animals. This requires significant time and effort, which could be more effectively spent elsewhere. The GFC system intends to automate the various human involvement in animal farming. \subsubsection{System functions} Primarily, the FGC system serves as a tracking and management device. Through the use of GPS tracking and LoRa long-range communication tehcnology, a collar is to provide information regarding the present location of the farm animal equipped with said collar. Furthermore, the collar is to be able to discourage undesired behavior such as leaving a designated area from the animal through the use of loud and unpleasant sounds and electrical chock. The collar is also to collect data regarding the behavior of various animals, for use in making decision regarding the livestock or otherwise. Additionally, a component of the system is a piece of software that allows for the remote management of collars. Users should be able to adjust "allowed" locations for the animals through this software, observe the current locations of the animals, and read the data collected by the collars. \subsubsection{User characteristics} ?? \todo{Finish this} \subsection{Definitions} ?? \todo{Finish this} \section{References} \section{System requirements} \subsection{Functional requirements} \subsubsection{GPS} It is imperative that the FGC system precisely tracks the locations of animals that are equipped with a collar. As the name of the system suggests, the system may be deployed in replacement of fenced-off areas. As such, failure to correctly identify the location of an animal may lead to the animal moving outside the desired area. Since many farms border wooded areas, highways or roads, it is then possible that an animal whose location was not properly reported will wonder into traffic or another dangerous location. We specify the maximum uncertainty in the location of an animal to be 3 feet. In addition to being precise with the GPS coordinates, the system must be tolerant of the aforementioned uncertainty. The analysis of the reported location should prevent the possibility of a collar not producing a negative stimulus due to a fluctuation of measurement. \subsubsection{Sound and Electrical Shock} Simply being aware of the animal's location is insufficient to properly control its behavior without human intervention. As such, the collars must be able to create stimuli that farm animals find unpleasant, effectively training them to avoid performing actions that are undesirable. The sound and shock must not only be sufficient to infuence the animals, but also safe: they should not cause harm or excessive discomfort to the animal. \todo{investigate legal guidelines?} \subsubsection{Control Application} The project must contain a functional mobile application for the Android platform, capable of interfacing with the collars in the field. This application should, at minimum, be usable to adjust the boundaries of the prescribed region and visualize the locations of individual animals on a map. \subsubsection{Data Collection} @ryan you know more about this than I care to research. \todo{finish this} \subsubsection{Effective Area} Because many farms have significant numbers of livestock, and consequently a large grazing area, it's necessary that the FGC system is functional at large distances. We require that the sysem is functional at distances as large as 5 kilometers, which is half of the maximum range of the LoRa technology. A consequence of this requirement is also that the system is entirely wireless, since it is not feasible to provide cables or wires that span the maximum area of 5 kilometers. \subsection{Usability requirements} \subsubsection{Accessibility of Application} Because the FGC system is intended to be used by farmers as a replacement for manual labor, it must be accessible to farmers with knowledge of the domain, but not necessarily of the inner workings of the FGC implementation. Thus, the final Android application must be usable, without significant prior training, by non-technical people from the agricultural industry. On the other hand, if necessary, the Android application \emph{should} assume domain specific knowledge in the area of agriculture, since its intended audience is from this field. \subsubsection{Servicability of Collars} \subsection{Performance requirements} \subsection{System interface} \subsection{System operations} \subsection{System modes and states} \subsection{Physical characteristics} \subsection{Environmental conditions} \subsection{System security} \subsection{Information management} \subsection{Policies and regulations} \subsection{System life cycle sustainment} \subsection{Packaging, handling, shipping and transportation} \section{Verification} \section{Gantt Chart} \begin{ganttchart}[ x unit=.55mm, time slot format=isodate ]{2019-10-01}{2020-06-30} \gantttitlecalendar{year, month=name} \\ \ganttgroup{Collar}{2019-10-01}{2020-03-01} \\ \ganttbar{Design}{2019-10-20}{2020-01-01} \\ \ganttmilestone{Purchase Parts}{2020-01-03} \\ \ganttbar{Assemble}{2020-01-05}{2020-02-01} \\ \ganttbar{Test}{2020-02-01}{2020-03-01} \\ \ganttgroup{Server}{2019-10-01}{2020-05-01} \\ \ganttbar{Design}{2019-10-20}{2020-01-01} \\ \ganttbar{Implement}{2020-01-01}{2020-04-01} \\ \ganttbar{Test}{2020-04-01}{2020-05-01} \\ \ganttgroup{Application}{2019-10-01}{2020-05-01} \\ \ganttbar{Design}{2019-10-20}{2020-01-01} \\ \ganttbar{Implement}{2020-01-01}{2020-04-01} \\ \ganttbar{Test}{2020-04-01}{2020-05-01} \\ \ganttgroup{Project}{2019-10-01}{2020-06-30} \\ \ganttbar{Finalize}{2020-05-01}{2020-06-15} \ganttlink{elem1}{elem2} \ganttlink{elem2}{elem3} \ganttlink{elem3}{elem4} \ganttlink{elem6}{elem7} \ganttlink{elem7}{elem8} \ganttlink{elem10}{elem11} \ganttlink{elem11}{elem12} \end{ganttchart} \end{document}
