Driver Controls

Responsible for driver input - steering wheel, signals, pedals, etc.

Also responsible for alerting driver of a BMS fault.

Requires communicating with motor controller interface

Driver Display

Responsible for general driver feedback/information - speed, battery status, etc.

Most likely using RasPi + display, shared backend with telemetry

Karl Ding

Calder Kitagawa

Motor Controller Interface

Run local motor controller network at 1Mbps and isolate the ID system to the motor controllers

Allows us to determine our own protocol entirely

Power Distribution

Handles LV and HV power distribution

Motor Precharge Controller

Analog precharge/discharge controller using 12V relays

Simplifies power distribution and reduces board size

Telemetry

Embedded device is hooked into the car and communicates wirelessly with a client device in the chase car

Allows us to monitor the car remotely

Battery Management

Evaluate different AFEs and current sensing for monitoring our lithium-ion pack

Develop SOC algorithms

Battery Pack

Work with mechanical to develop a battery pack design that is reliable and safe

Look at increasing pack voltage

Aux BMS

Analog NiMH charge/protection circuit

Disconnects the aux battery in case of a fault and holds relay-based killswitch latch

Titus Chow
Lights

Handles all external lights.

Will need to interface with DOT-approved lights

Taiping Li
Array

Develop array for MSXII

Evaluate MPPTs
