Project Management

Guidelines for Weekly Progress Reports

- Weekly Progress Reports (see sidebar), the Gantt chart, and this Project Management page should be printed out before meetings with the sponsor and instructor.
- All team members should be able to explain all items on the progress report.
- Place a "*" at the beginning of the title of the active week Progress Report (see * in sidebar).

Gantt Chart:

Project Objectives

High Priority Objectives:

Development of steering and braking mechanism including actuator and sensor implementation.
Inclusion of an override mechanism for manual control either through Emergency Off Button (EMO) or press of manual control.

Second Priority Objectives:

Automation disengagement upon manual steering input
Reengagement of autonomous control

Other Constraints and Issues

Must Fit in current evGoKart design
Sensors and actuators must withstand vibrations and exposure to the elements

WOW Design Solution

A reliable mechanism that disengages and re-engages automation actuators upon pressing the emergency off button (EMO), brake pedal manual input or steering manual input to the wheel.

Risk Reduction Strategy:

Braking System Risk Reduction Analysis
manual brake operation test
CAN bus and Arduino implementation test
