Risk/Unknown | Order of Importance | Mitigation | How to Test | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stackable Seats - how stable will it be / will it be stable etc. Good to accommodate the regs for line of sight for when being attatched but must also be able to remove to meet height and vision regs for people of various heights | 1Ensure the stacked seats can withstand the standard force in an accident/when slamming on the brakes by using a strong method of attachment. Seats must still be able to be moved on and off (maybe velcro is the solution | ?) Use velcro to attach and detach stackable seats | Calculations | ||||
Seat Overheating - how well will the design with the mesh allow the air to circulate - dont want the seats getting too hot | 3 | Ensure material that is chosen does not emit any harmful odours and does not overheat - allows for some air circulation so that the car does not get too hot | Prevent overheating | 3 | Ensure materials allow mesh to circulate | Thermal study in solidworks | |
Seat Mounting/Adhesives - How will the seats be attatched? Last years seats have mounting brackets (have research on it above). Chassis team is looking into an adhesive will this hold if the car slams on the breaks, gets into an accident etc.to attach the seat to the bottom panel | 1Ensure | the adhesive can withstand the force of an accident/slamming the brakes/car rolling over etc. Adhesive must be applied to adequately to the proper areasUse an adhesive | |||||
Seat Structure - Will the seat backing be strong enough to provide support when breaks are slammed, accident etc. | 1 | Ensure the back skeleton is strong enough to withstand accidents, rolling over etc | Overhead/neck seat belt placement - is the holes it goes through too close to the neck or is it comfortable | 2 | Enough room between neck and seatbelt so that it does not hurt the driver even with multiple sizes (not sure how to mitigate that filip is taking care of the seatbelt) | Strong back skeleton | |
Ballast bag compartment placement -Placed placed in a safe space where it is secured and close to the passengers. Must have easy access for switching and not go flying out the window or hit someone if the breaks are slammed on or there is an accident | 1 | Ensure the ballast bag doesnt break or go flying in the case of an accident or hard breaks are pressed. Must also be easy to access. Maybe to mitigate make the enclosure able to open and close and create a slot on or near each seat so it is secure and removable (not sure though mira is taking care of that)removable | |||||
Head rest - Test clearance and adjustable for helmet and no helmet | 2 | Ensure head rest is adjustable for heights of all drivers with and without a helmet and ensure clearance. Not really any way to mitigate | Can test clearance on solidworks |
