Final Performance Test

The final performance test required the engineering team to combine all previous studies and tests to complete an entire track run. This specific run included traveling through the gate, retrieving the load at the other end, and traveling back through the gate to the beginning area. This testing phase focused on consistency and honing in on accurate code and AEV design. Watts Division F successfully completed the final testing phase with its AEV design and original code. The data and information associated with the final test is located below.

Final Test Data




The final test run of the AEV included power-braking and coasting mechanics in order to maintain efficiency, balance, and comfort for the acquired load. The final test required approximately 44.3 seconds and 247.39 Joules of energy to complete the entire track. The total distance traveled for completion was about 15.55 meters. The success of the objective indicates success of the research and development stage of AEV production for public transit. AEV designs and software are ready for market availability in order to implement the technology into urban areas.
