AEV SALES PITCH

HERE IS WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST IN THIS AEV

  • The AEV’s ability to break is very precise due to the coding of the reverse() command.
    • After testing in the Advanced Research and Development phase, the reverse() command was added to the final code for precise stopping. The AEV stopped 4.75 inches away from the first sensor in testing, approximately in the center of the gate zone. This AEV will not be coasting to a stop, that is unreliable. With this braking command, you will be able to count on this AEV to stop when it needs to and where is needs to!
  • The AEV has evenly distributed weight and it is balanced.
    • The AEV has an even amount of weight on both sides of the AEV, as shown in the picture above. This balanced design allowed for no wobbling of the AEV while it was on the track. This makes the vehicle safer, and uses less power and energy. An unsteady AEV would spike up the power and energy usage. The energy cost for the Final Testing averaged to be $382,000. Your residents would not look like this guy below when they are riding this vehicle!
  • The AEV has a low capital cost.
    • This AEV costs $152,691 to build. This is due to minimal materials. The sample AEV cost $156,560 to build. The team made cuts to the design, as well as incorporated more affordable materials. This means this AEV will cost you less to build!                                                                                     
  • This AEV is a very safe design!
    • During testing and evolution of this AEV, there were no safety violations. It never fell off of the track, detached from the caboose, or ran into the edge of the loading zones. The team got $0 deducted for safety violations. The team succeeded in a safe design by balancing the weight and coding carefully. For example, low power was used when possible to avoid running into edges. This AEV is reliable and is a vehicle that residents would feel safe in!
