P10222 SAE ACTIVE CONTROLS

Chris Crowley

Mission Statement By implementing a hydraulically actuated

sway bar it will be possible for the team to increase there handling dynamics while starting a low risk vehicle control system.

Improvements can be made to both the Dynamic events as well as in Design presentations

Project Relevance Linear Actuation Development For SAE

Teams Linear Actuation For MSD Implementation Leverage ATV Auto Shift For Maximized

Outcome Instructional Tool for Vehicle Controls

Classes

Needs Project must:

Be direct bolt in to Baja Vehicle Be robust Be cost effective Compact Comply with all Baja SAE Rules

ControlActive Swaybar Industry’s first iteration

vehicle control Team has significant

amount of documented research System can be easily integrated into Baja

or Formula car Plan to use hydraulic actuator with

steering wheel position sensorhttp://www.trw.com/sub_system/semi_active_roll_control

e Role / Skills

Chris Deminco ME Faculty Guide, Will work closely with the team on an on-going basis to facilitate success, vast knowledge of vehicle dynamics.

TBD EE Faculty Consultant, Will provide support with control system selection, integration and refinement.

Chris Crowley ME Project Manager, Schedule meeting, book keeping, and keep team and project on track. Encourage team members. Provide link to the Baja Team and machining knowledge.

TBD Student EE Share responsibility for the selection and integration of the control system and electrical sensors

TBD Student EE Share responsibility for the selection and integration of the control system and electrical sensors

TBD Student ME Spec out hydraulic actuator that can supply required load

Work Breakdown StructurePerson Week 0->1 Tasks Week 1->2 Tasks Week 2->3 Tasks

ME- Project Manager

Schedule team meetings and get group information, as well as get group caught up with background information of the project, and expectations. Develop Team norms.

Make sure everyone from the group is on task, and is up to speed with each other. Update website, and schedule any needed meetings with Baja.

Update website, make sure everyone is on track. Help the other MEs with the design and fabrication of test stand.

EEResearch sensors and get together with controls professor to go over project scope.

Continue research, start looking into where we can get the resources needed for the project.

Start finalizing designs for the test stand, and make sure all the necessary recourses are lined up for building it.

EE Research sensors and get together with controls professor to go over project scope.

Continue research, start looking into where we can get the resources needed for the project.

Start getting a hold of actuators and sensors, and wiring and testing them to make sure they will work as needed.

ME Get together with the project manager, and help review and research designs.

Start to familiarize self with vehicle dynamics and verify loading scenarios

Continue working with project manager for finalizing the design of the test stand.

Risk Assessment Lack of Controls Knowledge Electrical Interfacing Design Durability Implementation of design by team

Project SuccessA successful project would result in a

functioninglinear actuated sway bar on the baja car

with the control system and sensors required for theoperation.

Risk Assessment Engine Dyno. may not be complete

No Testing Device L M M

Develop test stand that can be used on any dyno

Dyno. Time may be limited No Test Time M M M

Coordinate with other users of Dyno and make a workable schedule

Dynamic vehicle op. not well defined

Best Testing conditions unkonwn H L L

Test generic scenarios to develop baseline

Baja resources may be limited at certain times of the year

SD may be unable to acquire required components M H H

May need to use somewhat outdated components during some testing

Contingency PlanDescription of Risk

Definition of SuceessThe SD team will be responsible for delivering to

the Baja team the Peak Engine TorquePeak Engine HpCorresponding rpm

This can then be used to optimize the CVT that is currently on the Baja car.

Outstanding Items Revisit QFD with Baja Team and SD Team Finish Uploading to Edge Further Understanding of Dyno. usage
