Performance Testing

Performance Test was broken down into three different steps.

Test 1 – The objective of Performance Test 1 was to get the AEV to pass the first sensor to trigger the count down for the gate and have it stopped for 7 seconds to allow the gate to open and then pass through the gate.

Test 2 – Performance Test 2 built upon the success of test 1 and required the AEV to attach to the caboose without recoiling out of the loading dock. Once connected the AEV would wait a total of 5 seconds and then moved the caboose out of the loading dock.

Test 3 – Test 3 was the Final Performance Test where the AEV was expected to traverse the entirety of the track. The code for test 2 was recycled. Addition was need for returning the AEV to the gate where it waited 7 seconds for gate activation before continuing on and stopping at the starting gate without recoiling.
