deployed.A clear advantage of the BEVLB Project was that it met most of the selection criteria previouslydescribed: • The topic is real and current. It provides an excellent case study for class discussion of related global and societal issues, such as the need for rehabilitation and replacement of various forms of national infrastructure. The existing inventory of AVLB’s represents a weakness in the United States military infrastructure. The vast majority of the existing AVLB’s are based on 1950’s technology, have an average age of 25 years, have never received a major upgrade, are slower than the other combat vehicles they are used to support, and carry bridges that must be operated at reduced

fast, possibly as a result of low air pressure in the braking system. The engine left the tracks, pulling the other four cars in the train with it, and all crashed in a ravine approximately 70-feet below the trestle. Speed estimates for the train at the time of the derailment ranged between thirty and almost ninety miles per hour. The true cause of the wreck was never proven. Southern Railway claimed the engineer was responsible, while other reports indicated a wheel flange on the engine might have broken. Train wrecks were not uncommon in the early 1900’s, and the wreck of the Old 97 might have never gained much public attention had it not been for the song, The Wreck of the Old 97, which

Each group utilizes industrial and manufacturingengineering techniques taught in class but is encouraged to branch out based on their specificinterests. For example, some groups may choose to focus on developing a very detailed CADdesign and then outsource the product while another may choose to replicate an existing design.As part of the project, each group is expected to• Develop a drawing, including design specs and modifications,• Develop a detailed process plan (s) by studying alternative manufacturing processes/ materials.• Conceptualize jigs and fixtures needed

Some ofthe issues to be resolved are stated below. • Frequency of picture taking: It is not clear how often the pictures should be taken. The robot speed is a factor in this consideration. • File size of every picture: Will picture be color or black and white? What resolution should be used to have the best and fastest results (for the camera supporting multiple resolutions, the finest resolution will produce biggest picture and cause slowest processing but may be the best decision for autonomous navigation)? • Picture processing: What kind of pattern recognition algorithm(s) will be
