Requirement | For… | Description | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|
Floor Mounting | Both | Pedal should be easily and rigidly mounted to a rigid floor panel | |
Travel Range | Both | Pedal should have a full angular range of travel of at least 20 degrees | You want a large operating range to work with, so you’re not working with micro |
Mechanical Advantage | Both | The driver should be able to fully activate the mechanism with <=70lb of force | |
Ergonomics | Both | The driver’s foot should be able to easily/ergonomically apply force over the entire travel range of the pedal | |
Force resistance / springback | Both | The pedal should provide substantial resistance during operation (can be constant or linear) | |
Springback | Both | The pedal should return to its un-pressed position when force not applied | |
Angular Measurement | Accelerator (ideally brakes too) | The pedal shall measure its angular position and output the result to a controller board, with a measurement resolution of at least 0.5 degrees | |
Limit switch | Ideally both | The pedal should incorporate a limit switch that measures whether or not the pedal is depressed. Ideally, the threshold for limit switch activation should be easy to adjust/tune | |
