Energy vs Time plot for AEV (R&D Lab 4):

Data Analysis Tool – Power vs. Time Plot

Explanation of the plot above:

Above is the Power vs. Time plot based on the data collected from AEV running the given scenario on the straight tracks. Below is the specific explanation of the scenario and the plot.

  1. The plot goes upward to 12.64 (Watts) power within the first 3 seconds: all motors are accelerating from start to 45% in 3 seconds.
  2. The plot stays at 12.64 (Watts) power for the next second: all motors are running at constant speed (45% power) for 1 second.
  3. The plot goes directly down to 10.67 (Watts) power and stays stable for 2 seconds: all motors are running at constant speed (40% power) for 2 seconds.
  4. There is no indication on the plot, but all motors are reversed after step 3.
  5. The plot goes directly down to 5.33 (Watts) power and stays stable for 2 seconds: all motors are running at constant speed (25% power) for 2 seconds.
  6. The plot goes directly down to 0 power: all motors are braked.
  7. The scenario is end.

 

Energy vs Distance plot for AEV (R&D Lab 4):

Data Analysis Tool – Power vs. Distance Plot

Explanation of the plot above:

Above is the Power vs. Distance plot based on the data collected from AEV running the given scenario on the straight tracks. Below is the specific explanation of the scenario and the plot.

  1. The plot goes directly upward to 12.64 (Watts) power: all motors are accelerating from start to 45% in 3 seconds, and make no movement.
  2. The plot stays at 12.64 (Watts) power for the next 0.4 meters: all motors are running at constant speed (45% power) for 1 second, which covers 0.4 meters.
  3. The plot goes directly down to 10.67 (Watts) power and stays stable for 2 meters: all motors are running at constant speed (40% power) for 2 seconds, which covers another 2 meters.
  4. The plot goes down in a slop in 0.2 meters, then goes directly down to 5.33 (Watts) power and stays stable for 1 meter. For this step all motors are reversed after step 3. Motors still run forward due to the inertia. Then motors run backward at constant speed (25% power) for 2 seconds, which cover 1 meter at the backward direction.
  5. The plot goes directly down to 0 power: all motors are braked.
  6. The scenario is end.
