Description

Version: 4.0 start 01 August 2022
 

Short description

 In Basic Project 1 you first measure and analyse the movement of a train ride and then create a quarter car model to analyse simple driving dynamics scenarios. The work in Basic Project 1 goes under the motto "Measuring, Modelling, Communicating".

Module contents

 In Basic Project 1, you will work on two projects lasting several weeks. In the first project, you analyze the movement of a train ride which you either measure or simulate with OpenTrack. You calculate the location and the velocity from acceleration data using vector, integral and differential calculus from the Linear Algebra and Analysis modules. A project planning helps you to work on the project in a structured way, and at the same time, you apply contents from the Communications module practically. You communicate your results in the form of a short, written report.
 
In the second project, you work in a team, which makes project planning even more important. The aim of the project is to create a so-called quarter car model, with which simple driving dynamics scenarios can be analyzed, for example the effect of speed when driving over a speed bumper. To make modeling easier, you first perform measurements on cart on a track and then create a preliminary model that can be verified with measurements. Through your own research, you will find the parameters required to create the actual quarter car model. When modelling, you use methods and software tools, which were introduced in physics lessons. You analyze and evaluate the results of the simulation and communicate your findings in the form of a presentation.
