Riding with us

To provide a reliable and convenient method of transportation for people traveling between Linden and Easton/Polaris, and to create new economic opportunity for the local community, The Belvis Devise INC, Branch M has come up with the solution of AEV (Advanced Energy Vehicle) [1]. Comparing products from various of companies and different branches, here are four reasons why you should ride with us.

1. Safety

Safety is our top priority. To ensure safety of passengers as well as the whole AEV transportation system, we adopt the design which has the highest safety estimation score (Click Concept Scoring and Creative Design Thinking to get information of our evolution of design).

2. Overall Comfort

To enhance passenger’s overall riding comfort is our goal. Our AEV have smooth speed transitions, which can ensure passenger’s consistent feeling of mobility (Click Focus Areas Supported to get technical details of our controlling program).

3. Accuracy and Reliability

During test runs, our AEV could stop accurately within loading zones. This is secured by our program design that the AEV would reach the stop areas slowly and brake exactly at the desired location.

4. Energy Efficiency

According to scientific research, using push-pull propeller configuration is the most energy efficient way compared with single push configuration [2]. Other than adapting these most recent findings and using push-pull mode in our actual product, we are also dedicated to cut the energy usage by constantly testing different speeds to get the most optimized result.

Product Prototype and Data

Check the technical drawing of our prototype model below.

  • The total cost of the AEV: $605,967.
  • The total time to finish test run: 58.1 seconds.
  • The total energy used to finish test run: 290.2 Joules.
