  1. Urban Electric Vehicle for Efficient Green Transportation Presented By: Stephen Aranda, Derek Benallie, Aniza Brown, Justin Cummings, Brendan George, and Micheal Young

  2. Shell Eco Marathon 2013 Video

  3. Sponsor – Mentor Recognition University: • Client/Advisor • Dr. John Tester • Faculty Advisors • Dr. Allison Kipple • Dr. NiranjanVenkatraman • Professor John Sharber Industry: • Jim Corning of NovaKinetics • Chuck Hebestreit of Billet Composite Components • O’Reilly Auto Parts • Auto Paint Plus • Nicholas Aranda of JGMS • W.L. Gore

  4. System Overview • Big Picture: • Designing a fully functioning “almost” street legal vehicle • Powered by greener renewable energy sources • Shell Eco-Marathon

  5. Requirements Competition: • Accessory system • Safety • Mechanical • Electrical • Mechanical • Pass technical inspection

  6. Key Terms D.A.Q. – Data Acquisition Unit D.C. – Direct Current Swing Arm – Point on the suspension B.J.T. – Bipolar junction transistor Firewall – The protective barrier between the driver and battery compartment B.M.S. – Battery Management System Joulemeter – Measures power used by car Controller – Controls the speed of the motors Slalom – A course that tests vehicle capabilities

  7. Electrical Design • Accessory System • Graphical User Interface • Lights • Horn • Windshield Wiper • Drivetrain System • B.M.S. • Two Battery Banks • Controller • Two Motors

  8. Graphical User Interface

  9. Mechanical Design/Modifications • Reduced fairing weight • Adapted DC motor to swing arm • New aluminum rims

  10. System Integration/Test • NAU Driving tests • Controller overheating • Accessory testing • Insufficient D.A.Q. output current • Technical Inspection • Lack of safety firewall/tow hitch • Competition Driving Run • Front wheel failure

  11. Competition Results • Inspection • Safety • Technical • Slalom • Track Results • Laps completed • Fuel mileage

  12. Deliverables • Electric vehicle in working condition for future teams to use as a base line • Energy efficient results • Suggestions for future modifications

  13. Budget Fairing Cost Estimation = $2,391.37 Chassis Cost Estimation = $1,000.00 Electrical Cost Estimation = $3,518.54 Miscellaneous Costs Estimation = $1,727.47 Total Cost = $8,637.38

  14. Time Frame • Phase I - Research • Approximately 120 hours • Phase II – Proposed Design • Approximately 175 hours • Phase III – Detailed Design • Approximately 220 hours • Phase IV – Integration and Testing • Approximately 300 hours

  15. Lessons Learned Fabrication of fairing design Mechanical aspect All disciplines are equally important Good communication with clients and group members Testing equipment upon arrival Double check all rules and requirements Preparation with right tools
