-Jaya Nataraj Introduction/Background
Welcome to EcoCar3: The latest U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition (AVTC) series. This is the first year of competition and consists various technical goals to enhance the Chevy Camaro.
To create an embedded system (not related to powertrain). To replace all physical buttons in the center control area with one display unit. To constantly display battery state of charge, temperature, and current. To create a framework for a navigation system that tracks the EcoCar3 fleet in real time. To create a framework for implementing functions of a police laptop. Project Requirements
Allow the user to easily control and monitor basic car functions. Provide future EcoCar3 teams with a reusable framework. Minimize changes needed for integration with the car. Design Objectives

Design & Functionalities -Marvin Itzep
Challenges: Take control of the most important functionalities of car. Radio, AC, Temperature and more. Make it appeal to most drivers. Attractive and Efficient Reduce time that it takes to go from setting to setting. Balance between innovation and safety How did we tackle these challenges?
Design & Functionalities Sleek Design and Custom made buttons. Fast and easy to use menu interface. Includes all the basic car functionalities. Favorites and smart shortcuts to a specific functionalities. ArcGIS Maps.
2014 Camaro Navigation System Annoying Knobs Unnecessary Scrolling Distracting Boring Design
Access to main car functionalities
Keep track of the car status
Take control of your music
Navigation and ArcGIS -Miguel Valencia
Functions Navigation GIS vehicle tracking and communication with ArcGIS Fuel Routing
GIS is a Geographical Information System Navigation will be done through GIS User can Input desired destinations Navigation
Provides real time tracking of the EcoCar fleet with GPS location Data will be pulled from the vehicle using the CAN bus Data will be transmitted through a cellular hotspot Tracking
Software and Hardware -Daanyaal Syed
Hardware Standalone board Touchscreen display Future: CAN Connection using OBD-II
CAN Bus: Controller Area Network Enables electronic vehicle control Connects to the car using OBD-II Connects to the board using USB Signals sent/received using a Linux driver (SocketCAN)
Programming Languages Qt "Cross Platform" Application-framework C++ QML Qt Meta Language JavaScript-based UI Markup Language
Software OS: Linux/Windows ArcGIS +(SDK for Qt) Easy to integrate maps
