Energy vs Time 

This plot is explaining how much energy is being exerted as the given code is running over time. The spikes in the graph are when more energy is being exerted very quickly and the plateaus are when the AEV is moving at a constant speed. There are two areas in the graph with large spikes and there are two areas of lower energy consumption. The code tells the AEV to accelerate and that’s the huge increase in the beginning then it travels at a constant speed. When it begins to reverse that is the next spike in energy. And the section where the graph is on the x-axis is when the AEV is told to brake and it is no longer moving.

 

Energy vs Distance

The plot that should have appeared during the run was not what was received. The graph that was created has a vertical, straight line at x=0. This is an indication that the AEV did not move while it was on the track. If the AEV were to move then there would be a similar trend as the energy vs time plot. But when the AEV were to reverse there would have been a huge spike in energy.
