StateMachine Diagram - HSUV Operational States

This StateMachine diagram is used to describe the discrete states that the Hybrid SUV exhibits during a specified part of its lifetime. A system or part of a system can have a wide range of states depending on the observer's perspective, so a modeler must always specify the perspective or view that is being used for the diagram. The diagram then articulates the important and relevant conditions within the specified lifetime of the entity.

The message in the Sequence diagram Start Vehicle is the trigger that will cause the vehicle to transition from the Off state to the Operate (on) state. Enterprise Architect allows these transitions to be defined in detail.

The States appear in the Browser window and are conveniently grouped  together under the StateMachine node.
