Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks?

I believe that Automated Transit Network is the future. Being able to create an environmentally friendly and space efficient transportation method is a necessity for big cities as they try to improve the quality of life of those living in it. I believe that through this project I'll be able to understand my part in creating this future and extend my knowledge on the subject.

Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks?

With my specialties on Mechatronics field of study, I urged to contribute to the Spartan Superway project to design a functional dashboard, control panel and data communication system. In this project, I also seek to develop a better understand on IoT related techniques and knowledge.

Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks?

I want to improve public transportation by creating a faster and convenient method that is sustainable for the environment. It is important to have automated transit networks in the Bay Area because it will lead to less greenhouse gas exposure from automobiles, which will create a positive impact on society and its environment.

Why do you want to work on Automated Transit Networks?

I became a mechanical engineer because I saw it as an opportunity to promote the health and safety of society through the things he creates. The work engineers do now is essential to inspire the next generation of engineers. My motivation for joining the project stems from my goal to improve the quality of life for everyone. I believe that working towards the realization of Spartan Superway is challenging but necessary to inspire the rest of the world to push towards a healthier way of life.

  Objective for the week (3/31/2021 - 4/7/2021): The objective for the week is to finish up developing the docking mechanism. Moreover, our objective is to complete as much as we can to present our updates on April 7th. Currently, the docking mechanism is fully functional with the dashboard. The dashboard is able to show indicators that explain the actions of the linear actuator. The team wanted to reorganize and compact the circuit and wiring so it would be easier to package it in a container. We attempted to compact the circuit and wiring on a PCB board however, we were unsuccessful. We decided to keep our circuit and wiring on a breadboard to prevent wasting more ESP32 boards. The team managed to test the docking mechanism on the bogie, specifically determining how the linear actuator will grab the bogie. The bogie will have a similar magnet that the linear actuator is using. This will allow the magnet of the linear actuator to grab the bogie by attracting the second magnet. Individ

Objective for the week (3/24/2021 - 3/31/2021): The objective for the week is to finish up developing the docking mechanism. Currently, the docking mechanism is fully functional with the dashboard. The dashboard is able to show indicators that explain the actions of the linear actuator. The next step is to reorganize and compact the circuit and wiring so that the docking mechanism can be tested on Monday (3/29). Individual tasks: Pedro Serenini: Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Create a CAD model for a box that will contain the electronics. Assist testing the docking mechanism. Yit Voon Yap (Nick): Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Compact the circuit and wiring of the docking mechanism. Assist testing the docking mechanism. Phuc Tran: Continue developing a dashboard/control panel for the charging station. Use SolidWorks to demonstrate/create the docking mechanism. Further develop the dashboard to monitor voltage and current of the 12V batteries used
