Project Progress

NJAV Goals

1) Improve the design and implementation of the 2008 vehicle.

 

2) Have a working vehicle by the End of December 2009.

 

3) Have an optimal vehicle by the beginning of May 2010.

 

4) Take 1st in the 2010 IGVC Competition.

 

Project Progress

   
    This section we will post Meeting minutes week to week.  As progress of the NJAV progresses some design pictures and possibly schematics of the different systems will be present in this section as well. 
 
We plan to closely monitor the progress of the autonomous vehicle through this website and share it with whom ever is interested.

NJAV Updates


09/18/
09 -
Time line of work progress was created and is being used as a guide to complete the project.  Recovery of last years vehicle and expense reports completed.

09/27/09 - Hardware architecture of the old vehicle was completed and analyzed.  The hardware architecture was unsatisfactory, so a rebuild is required.

10/16/09 - Preliminary Drawings were constructed by the Mechanicals for a new chassis.  The Electrical engineer designed a universal power box where the voltage from the batteries will be inputted and various voltages will be outputted to supply the vehicle with all the power required.  The wireless e-stop is wired directly into the circuitry of the power box.  The Computer Engineer has began testing each component to develop code and draw data.

10/30/09 - The circuitry for the power box has been created and soldered but the actual housing has not been constructed although it has been designed.  Progress for the collection of data has been moving forward and there are few components left to gather data from.  Mechanicals are now furthering their original design to include a more stable camera mount.
