1. Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to document the module level design for a HowDetn software module which is the part of the software related to Nexteer’s Electrical Steering Systems product line.
Scope
Scope of the document is to capture the software implementation details of HowDetn Module.
HowDetn High-Level Description
Determination of a continuous valued estimate that represents the likelihood that a driver's hands are on the steering wheel (value =1) or off the steering wheel (value=0). A discrete value corresponding to the confidence of the estimate is also specified Design details of software module
