The Year 4 Competition ADAS Evaluation has been designed to evaluate teams’ progress in developing object tracking algorithms using the NXP S32 system and a sensor set of their choosing (at least one camera and a functional S32v is required) and integrating this system into their team Camaro. Teams will take part in an on-track event to evaluate their progress in integration of the system on vehicle and developing fine-tuned vision algorithms (and fusion algorithms, if they so choose) for object tracking. The activities will assess team progress in developing detection, tracking, range estimation, and relative lane programs for a moving vehicle target that will perform maneuvers around the host vehicle.

AVL Drive Quality Event (Event Open)
The balance between fuel economy and drive quality is one of the most difficult and important tasks in the Vehicle Development Process. The objective of this event is to assess the vehicle’s drive quality. Assessments will be based on vehicle performance in two different areas: acceleration targets and AVL DRIVE assessment criteria. The main tool that will be used for the second part of the quality assessment is AVL DRIVE. This program provides an objective drive quality measurement system that gives a 1-10 rating on several hundred driving situations, along with detailed physics-based criteria.

Each team’s vehicle will be tested with the vehicle’s accelerator pedal set at fixed pedal positions in both charge depleting & charge sustaining modes. The AVL DRIVE data will be collected and analyzed by GM drive quality engineers. An overall drive quality score will be given based on this objective drive quality data.

The Year 4 Competition ADAS Evaluation has been designed to evaluate teams’ progress in developing object tracking algorithms using the NXP S32 system and a sensor set of their choosing (at least one camera and a functional S32v is required) and integrating this system into their team Camaro. Teams will take part in an on-track event to evaluate their progress in integration of the system on vehicle and developing fine-tuned vision algorithms (and fusion algorithms, if they so choose) for object tracking. The activities will assess team progress in developing detection, tracking, range estimation, and relative lane programs for a moving vehicle target that will perform maneuvers around the host vehicle.

AVL Drive Quality Event (Event Open)
The balance between fuel economy and drive quality is one of the most difficult and important tasks in the Vehicle Development Process. The objective of this event is to assess the vehicle’s drive quality. Assessments will be based on vehicle performance in two different areas: acceleration targets and AVL DRIVE assessment criteria. The main tool that will be used for the second part of the quality assessment is AVL DRIVE. This program provides an objective drive quality measurement system that gives a 1-10 rating on several hundred driving situations, along with detailed physics-based criteria.

Each team’s vehicle will be tested with the vehicle’s accelerator pedal set at fixed pedal positions in both charge depleting & charge sustaining modes. The AVL DRIVE data will be collected and analyzed by GM drive quality engineers. An overall drive quality score will be given based on this objective drive quality data.

ORSE is designed to evaluate the vehicle’s dynamic handling characteristics and verify the ability of the vehicle to safely perform dynamic maneuvers and stop within a safe distance. Vehicles will be evaluated to make sure that no interference with the steering or suspension system exists, that the anti-lock brake system (ABS) is functioning, and that the vehicle exhibits stability at high and low speeds. Failure to pass this event will prevent a team from participating in additional dynamic events.

Consumer Appeal Judge Group A: MAC, UW, WVU
This event is an evaluation of the consumer appeal of team vehicles. Judges will assume the role of a prospective customer and will perform a rigorous evaluation of all aspects of the team vehicles that pertain to consumer appeal. Just like a consumer at a dealership about to buy a new car, the judges will evaluate the cockpit, gauges, displays, human-machine interaction (HMI) or infotainment features, driving experience, interior and exterior of the vehicle. The evaluation will consider both form and function and will include driving the vehicle to dynamically evaluate the consumer experience of the vehicle.

ADAS Presentation: OSU
The Year 4 ADAS Presentation is designed to evaluate the effectiveness with which the team completed the ADAS activities throughout the year. ADAS teams were challenged with designing, integrating, and refining a vehicle sensing system using a variety of sensor types and resource constrained processors onboard their Camaros. The systems were designed to accomplish a variety of tasks, including vehicle detection and tracking, target vehicle range and relative velocity measurement, and relative lane assignment. Additionally, the teams were tasked with development of on energy consumption-improving driver feedback system using the outputs of their sensing algorithms. The ADAS presentation content will focus primarily on teams’ ADAS sensing system integration, development, and evaluation activities. Teams will also briefly discuss their method for using sensing system outputs to provide feedback to the driver.

ADAS Presentation: UA
The Year 4 ADAS Presentation is designed to evaluate the effectiveness with which the team completed the ADAS activities throughout the year. ADAS teams were challenged with designing, integrating, and refining a vehicle sensing system using a variety of sensor types and resource constrained processors onboard their Camaros. The systems were designed to accomplish a variety of tasks, including vehicle detection and tracking, target vehicle range and relative velocity measurement, and relative lane assignment. Additionally, the teams were tasked with development of on energy consumption-improving driver feedback system using the outputs of their sensing algorithms. The ADAS presentation content will focus primarily on teams’ ADAS sensing system integration, development, and evaluation activities. Teams will also briefly discuss their method for using sensing system outputs to provide feedback to the driver.

The Year 4 ADAS Presentation is designed to evaluate the effectiveness with which the team completed the ADAS activities throughout the year. ADAS teams were challenged with designing, integrating, and refining a vehicle sensing system using a variety of sensor types and resource constrained processors onboard their Camaros. The systems were designed to accomplish a variety of tasks, including vehicle detection and tracking, target vehicle range and relative velocity measurement, and relative lane assignment. Additionally, the teams were tasked with development of on energy consumption-improving driver feedback system using the outputs of their sensing algorithms. The ADAS presentation content will focus primarily on teams’ ADAS sensing system integration, development, and evaluation activities. Teams will also briefly discuss their method for using sensing system outputs to provide feedback to the driver.

ADAS Presentation: UT
The Year 4 ADAS Presentation is designed to evaluate the effectiveness with which the team completed the ADAS activities throughout the year. ADAS teams were challenged with designing, integrating, and refining a vehicle sensing system using a variety of sensor types and resource constrained processors onboard their Camaros. The systems were designed to accomplish a variety of tasks, including vehicle detection and tracking, target vehicle range and relative velocity measurement, and relative lane assignment. Additionally, the teams were tasked with development of on energy consumption-improving driver feedback system using the outputs of their sensing algorithms. The ADAS presentation content will focus primarily on teams’ ADAS sensing system integration, development, and evaluation activities. Teams will also briefly discuss their method for using sensing system outputs to provide feedback to the driver.

Additionally, the teams were tasked with development of on energy consumption-improving driver feedback system using the outputs of their sensing algorithms. The ADAS presentation content will focus primarily on teams’ ADAS sensing system integration, development, and evaluation activities. Teams will also briefly discuss their method for using sensing system outputs to provide feedback to the driver.

Over-the-Road Event
The Over-the-Road (OTR) event is the capstone event of the four-year EcoCAR 3 competition series. It is modelled after industry standard “Buyoff Rides” and challenges teams to complete a 150-plus mile drive in their target market environment. Unlike other dynamic events, the OTR event is conducted on open roads in real-world driving conditions, exposing vehicles to variables such as grade and traffic that are not experienced in any other competition event. The event will evaluate the capability of the team vehicles as well as their energy consumption over a pre-defined over-the-road route that begins and ends at the Fairplex in Pomona, CA.
