Concept Screening and Scoring

CONCEPT SCORING

CRITERIA DEFINITION

0 = least efficient

3 = average efficiency

5 = most efficient

 

 

CATEGORIES

Balance = distribution of mass throughout the AEV (depending on components and design)

 Power Efficiency = how much power would be required to move the AEV, influenced by aerodynamics and weight)

Weight = mass of the whole AEV (based on components and design)

Speed = how fast they AEV could possibly go (based on aerodynamics and weight)

Braking Distance = (based on weight and aerodynamics)

Overall Style = appealing to the public eye, easy to understand

 

 

CONCEPT SCREENING

 

CRITERIA DEFINITION

(-) = least efficient

0 = neutral

+ = max efficiency

 

CATEGORIES

Stability = balance and ability to hold together

Min. Blockage = aerodynamic of the AEV/ ability to glide through the air (lack of friction)/design

Maintenance = materials needed to maintain and fix AEV, availability of the materials/ease of fixing AEV

Durability = AEV has a stable structure, that will not break with ease. The design is stable.

Safety = design does not seem like it’ll break easily/ stable/ Aerodynamic efficiency
