Problem Breakdown

Background

example text: Headlights are one of the requirements listed by the American Solar Challenge (however not required for the World Solar Challenge). For MS XIV, the headlight unit will contain two types of lights: Daytime Running Lights (DRL’s) and Front Turn Indicators.

Needs Statement

i.e A need exists for a headlight unit that meets the DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and front turn signal regulations (ASC) while maintaining good vehicle aerodynamics, minimal energy consumption, and is aesthetically pleasing.

Major Goals

i.e

1. Have complete and functional headlight unit

2. Meets lighting regulations (ASC and WSC)

3. Mechanically and electrically reliable & robust

4. Minimally disruptive to vehicle aerodynamics

5. Minimal power consumption

6. Aesthetically pleasing

Requirements/Regulations

Steering Wheel Regulations Open Open

Horn Button Regulations

Radio Push-to-talk Regulations

Turn Signal and Headlight Control Reguations No requirements listed regarding means for how turn signals and headlights are activated (i.e control stalk vs steering wheel)
