PROJECTS

Automotive systems project: Maximize profit of a vehicle, November 2019 – December 2019

Maximized profit of a conceptual electric vehicle by optimizing vehicle design (dimensions of the vehicle, packaging of passenger and cargo, motor, and battery selection) by considering performance measures such as aerodynamic drag force, 0-100 kmph acceleration time, top speed, range of vehicle on a single charge, etc. In order to optimize vehicle design, MATLAB and Simulink were used and powered by systems thinking and integration principles.

Results: Estimated demand = 48,579 units when price of the car is set to $49,000

Cost of production = $44,769 Gross Profit = (49,000-44,769) x demand = $205,537,749.00 Cost optimization of an electric vehicle, March 2020– April 2020

Optimized an existing electric vehicle’s cost and acceleration performance by replacing the conventional battery energy storage system. Utilized a hybrid battery supercapacitor energy storage system, optimal selection of motors and other components to replace existing ones. Analyzed by a multi-objective genetic algorithm in MATLAB.

Slashed the price of the reference electric vehicle from $1,05,000 to $92,676 by replacing 2 existing motors on the car with 4 smaller motors, reducing the battery cell count from 7104 to 6510 and using 15 supercapacitors. Gage R&R: Schedl automotive, February 2020 – March 2020 The company’s tire inflation system was often fed wrong tolerance values by the operators due to misinterpretation of measurement units. Due to this, the tires produced were often of varying sizes and outside of acceptable dimensional tolerance limits. The project involved the use of a Gage R&R study and DFMEA to analyze the process of tire inflation to identify the points in the process at which errors occurred and led to frequent delays and incorrect dimensions of the tires produced. Unfortunately, the project was hindered due to the COVID-19 pandemic and we were no longer allowed to visit the factory in person and hence, the Gage R&R study was carried out based on data available at the time and the possible causes of the errors in tire sizes were determined along with possible solutions to fix these problems. Electric powertrain modeling with Simulink

Designed an electric vehicle powertrain model in Simulink to simulate vehicle performance characteristics like Maximum speed, 0-60 mph time, battery consumed over FHDS and FUDS drive cycles, Equivalent MPG, Drag force, etc. OTHER EXPERIENCE AND EXTRACURRICULARS
