    The document summarizes the design process and initial research for a Shell Eco-marathon vehicle. It discusses positioning the driver for ease and safety, with consideration for vision and center of gravity. Key components like the steering wheel and brakes are also addressed. Initial acceleration calculations are shown, noting the vehicle will start at its highest vertical center of gravity for stability. Future work includes packaging the front axle and designing the canopy while considering vibration effects on performance. References on vehicle dynamics and electric vehicle technology are provided.

    Shell Eco-marathon GDP 2013 Packaging

    Sahil Gandhi Week 1 & 2 Presentation

    Agenda
    Body Shape Design Process Initial Research Driver Position and Vision Primary Acceleration Stability Steering Mechanism

    Body Shape Design Process

    Initial Research

    Laustiz Dynamics - 723 km/KWh

    TERA TUGraz 619 km/KWh

    Schluckspecht 553 km/KWh

    Driver Positioning
    Hybrid III 5th Female Dummy - 880105-000-H Weight 49kg External Dimensions Ease of positioning Dimensionalize the vehicle Weight of Limbs Heaviest component of the vehicle Allows precise CG calculation

    Driver Vision

    Blind Spot (Shoulder Torso)

    Steering Wheel
    Requirements Individual Brakes Front and Back Brake Cables Horn + Electric Cables Speedometer Steer cable housing Good handling capabilites Low weight and cost

    The Start
    Conditions:
    Rolling Drag Force = Aerodynamic Drag 1 = 2 2 Grading Force = = 0 Acceleration = 1.05

    The Start
    At Highest vertical CG. Position Stable

    Very low initial Acc hence a low weight transfer


    3.68 % weight transfer from Wf to Wr

    Future Work
    Front Axle Packaging & loading conditions Canopy Design and Integration Rear View Mirror Sight lines Vibration effects on Performance
