Specialising in driver interface, I lead a team of up to 8 engineering students to design, manufacture, and validate the ergonomics package.
Driver Interface (Ergonomics) consists of the seat, headrest, harness, dashboard, steering column assembly, steering wheel, and pedal box. A few of these are showcased here including the design and manufacturing process.
Optimisation of steering column and mounting assembly using FEA.
Carbon fibre plate with custom 3D scanned ergonomic grips.
To visualize the kinematic challenges addressed in the Upper Steering project, I developed this interactive analysis tool. It calculates the velocity fluctuation introduced by a double Universal joint system in real-time.
Objective: Adjust the column and pinion angles to achieve a flat velocity ratio (1.0), represented by the red reference line.
