The guideway design team will be focusing on a design for the track that will be made in quarter-scale. We will be changing the design to accommodate the modifications done to the bogie, if needed.
Scope of Work
The current design of the guideway is a leveled track that has a split at the end to allow the cabin to turn or continue straight by switching mechanism on the bogie. Also the current design is a open track so it has to traverse backwards to come back to start position. The quarter scale rail will be designed to hold a quarter scale pod car and bogie system. It will be a closed circuit and it will demonstrate lowering elevation by traveling up or down 17 degrees. We would like to demonstrate more versatile traveling maneuvers to an audience.
Goals
The main goal is to design and build a guideway for the quarter scale bogie to demonstrate different operations. We will be using engineering programs such as Solid works and a finite element analysis program to properly design the guideway.
