SUMMARY

This presentation will focus on work performed in support of the Georgia Tech EcoCAR team during Years 1 and 2 of the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge Competition. The Georgia Tech EcoCAR team competes against 11 other universities in a challenge to build a hybrid vehicle with SAE level 2 autonomy.

The architecture selection process followed to choose a hybrid electric vehicle architecture, including vehicle modeling and considerations for the mobility as a service market, will be detailed. This work includes using a Simulink model to
predict fuel economy performance for various hybrid architectures with a range of components. Modifications to the model to meet team requirements and the results will be discussed.

Year 2 of the competition focused on integration of the hybrid vehicle components based on team-designs. The design process used by all team-members will be highlighted by discussing the design, analysis, and fabrication of an electric motor mount that was installed in the competition vehicle.
