P11228: Automated Clutch Actuation
/public/
Home
Project Summary
|
Project Information
|
In today's marketplace, automated processes are
becoming more prevalent in consumer products.
Automation decreases the number of required inputs
from the user, thus reducing error and increasing
repeatability. An automated clutch design, similar
to semi-automatic transmissions available on
commercial vehicles, will remove the variability
associated with manual clutch actuation. The test
bed for this project will be the Formula SAE car.
The focus of the project will be to design and
implement an automated clutch actuation system to
maximize grip from a standing start thus decreasing
acceleration times and increasing performance.
