SAE Collegiate Design Series HISTORY » SAE INTERNATIONAL

SAE International was formed in the early 1900s out of a desire for patent protection, solutions to common technical design problems, and development of engineering standards. In 1902, a pair of magazine publishers – Peter Heldt of The Horseless Age and Horace Swetland of The Automobile – became advocates for the concepts that forged the creation of SAE. In a June 1902 editorial, Heldt proclaimed that automobile manufacturers’ desire to follow certain accepted lines of construction and technical questions that arise are “best dealt with by a technical society.” Just two months after Heldt’s editorial, the Society of Automobile Engineers was born. Headquartered in a New York City office, four officers and five managing officers – one of whom was Swetland – volunteered their time and energy for the cause. In the inaugural year of 1905, Andrew Riker served as president and Henry Ford the society’s vice president. After initially starting out with 30 members, SAE membership grew steadily over the first 10 years, fulltime employees were added, and a technical journal was published, as well as a compilation of technical papers called SAE Transactions, which is still published today. By 1916, membership had grown to 1,800, and at the annual meeting, representatives from the American Society of Aeronautic Engineers, the Society of Tractor Engineers, and representatives from the powerboating industry sought to have SAE oversee technical standards for their industries. As a result of that meeting, a new society was formed, representing engineers in all types of mobility-related professions. SAE member Elmer Sperry helped create the term “automotive” from the Greek autos (self) and Latin motivus (of motion) origins to represent any form of self-powered vehicle. The Society of Automobile Engineers then became the Society of Automotive Engineers. After seeing continual growth over the next several decades, a need for more staff and space led to a move in 1973 to the current headquarters campus in Warrendale, Pa., just north of Pittsburgh. Today, SAE International has more than 90,000 members, encompassing engineers, business executives, educators, and students, from more than 97 countries.


SAE Collegiate Design Series PURPOSE & HISTORY » COLLEGIATE DESIGN SERIES

Purpose SAE's Collegiate Design Series competitions include Aero Design, Clean Snowmobile Challenge, Formula SAE, Baja SAE, and Supermileage. As students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in the fields of science and engineering, these competitions prepare them for future employment in mobility-related industries.

History The SAE Collegiate Design Series got its start in 1973 with the Recreational-Ecological Vehicle Challenge (REV), a contest conceived by William Shapton that tasked students to design and fabricate a two-man amphibious ATV capable of traversing 25 miles of off-road terrain and stretches of deep water. Under the guidance of University of South Carolina professor John Stevens, this competition later evolved into Mini Baja. In 1976, 10 university teams competed in the inaugural Mini Baja competition at the University of South Carolina and Fort Jackson. Within two years, the competitions were separated into three regions, and by 1984 the number of teams competing in one region had grown to 45. The Supermileage competition was launched shortly after Mini Baja, and Formula SAE soon followed in 1981. Initially conceived as an offshoot of Mini Baja, Formula SAE was created for cars with Briggs & Stratton engines and suspension on all four wheels. While the suspension rule remained in effect, the spec engine was later dropped, opening the door for motorcycle engines, fuel injection, forced induction, and methanol. Formula SAE continued to grow, with Ford, General Motors and Chrysler taking turns as hosts of the race, and by 1995, 84 teams competed at the Silverdome in Pontiac, MI.


SAE Collegiate Design Series COMPETITION OVERVIEW » COLLEGIATE DESIGN SERIES

The SAE International Collegiate Design Series will feature 11 educational competitions throughout the United States in 2008. These events challenge student teams to design and build vehicles that are capable of meeting specific engineering challenges. This series has grown to become an important means of demonstrating teamwork and applying engineering concepts to real-world application. While these competitions are held in the United States, the series attracts colleges and universities from around the globe. Alumni of SAE’s Collegiate Design Series are employed in a variety of engineering positions and are well represented in many posts within the motorsports arena. The series is broken down into the following events: » AERO DESIGN Engineering students design and build a radio-controlled aircraft that can take off and land while carrying as much cargo as possible. The event features three classes of competition: Regular, Open, and Micro. » BAJA SAE Consists of three regional competitions that simulate real-world engineering design projects and their related challenges. Engineering students design and build an off-road vehicle that will survive the severe punishment of rough terrain and sometimes even water. » CLEAN SNOWMOBILE CHALLENGE Teams of engineering students compete to re-engineer an existing snowmobile to reduce emissions and noise, while improving the vehicle’s performance characteristics. The modified snowmobiles also are expected to be cost-efficient. Teams compete in tests of endurance, acceleration, handling, rider-comfort and towing. » FORMULA SAE Student members conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula-style race cars; points are awarded for static events (presentation, design, cost analysis) and dynamic events (acceleration, skid-pad, autocross, fuel economy, endurance). » SUPERMILEAGE Provides engineering and technology students with a design project that involves the development and construction of a single-person, fuel-efficient vehicle. Vehicles are powered by a small four-cycle engine.


SAE Collegiate Design Series SAE FOUNDATION

Since 1986, the SAE Foundation has funded the educational experiences of the next generation of mobility scientists and engineers through special programs, awards and scholarships. Through the A World In Motion K-12 educational program, Collegiate Design Series competitions, and numerous scholarship and award programs, the SAE Foundation builds bridges between corporations and classrooms by giving engineers, teachers, and students the opportunity to work together and learn from each other. The Foundation encourages engineers from a variety of industries to become mentors to students from elementary school through university programs. As these industry volunteers work with students, they provide encouragement, technical assistance, and often serve as role models for young people who may never have considered a career in science or engineering. There are more than 15,000 volunteers currently involved with the Foundation’s programs. The SAE Foundation is guided by its Board of Trustees, which consists of 15 members elected to three-year terms. Daniel M. Hancock, GM Powertrain, Vice President Engineering Operations, General Motors Corp., serves as Chairman of the Board. Corporate partnerships as well as SAE member support have allowed the Foundation’s programs to reach nearly 4 million students worldwide.

Aero Design® OVERVIEW

Aero Design challenges students to conceive, design, fabricate and test a radio-controlled aircraft that can take off and land while carrying the maximum cargo. This exercise allows students to apply knowledge gained in the classroom in a real work environment. First and foremost a design competition, students are forced to perform trade studies and make compromises to arrive at a design solution that will meet the mission requirements while conforming to configuration limitations. To help develop the students’ written and oral communication skills, a sizable percentage of a team’s score is devoted to the design report and oral presentation required in the competition. Aero Design features three classes of competition: Regular, Open, and Micro. Regular Class is intended to be simpler than Open Class, and therefore more accessible to the fledgling team. Open Class is intended to be less restrictive than Regular Class, thereby opening a larger potential solution set. Its lack of restriction allows teams to pursue more complex vehicle configurations, thereby encouraging greater creativity in satisfying the mission requirements. Micro Class teams are required to make trades between two potentially conflicting requirements, carrying the highest payload fraction possible, while simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible. The airplanes must be designed and built by students without direct involvement from professional engineers, radio-control model experts, pilots, machinists, or related professionals. Universities may enter more than one team in each Aero Design competition, but each entry must be a unique design, significantly different from each other. Aircraft may only compete in one class, and aircraft will only be allowed to compete during a single academic year.

» FAST FACTS Established: Events:

1986 Aero Design West; April 4-6, 2008; Fort Worth, Texas Aero Design East; April 18-20, 2008; Marietta, Ga. Number of registered teams: Aero Design West, 54 Aero Design East, 58 2007 winners: Kansas State University (Regular Class, West) California State University – Long Beach (Open Class, West) Queen’s University (Micro Class, West) Michigan Tech University (Regular Class, East) Universidade de São Paulo (Open Class, East) Wright State University (Micro Class, East) Engine: Single, unmodified O.S. .61FX with E-4010 Muffler


Aero Design® RULES

During the competition, teams have three minutes to accomplish a successful takeoff. Regular and Open Class aircraft must lift from the ground within a takeoff zone measuring 200 ft in length. Micro Class aircraft must lift from the ground within a takeoff zone measuring 100 ft in length. Once in flight, the aircraft must successfully complete one 360 degree circuit of the field. During a flight, each aircraft must fly past the departure end of the takeoff zone, turn the aircraft through 180 degrees of heading, and fly past the approach end of the takeoff zone prior to landing. All aircraft must land in the same direction as takeoff within a designated landing zone measuring 400 ft in length for the Regular Class, 200 ft in length for the Micro Class, and 300 ft in length for the Open Class. Touch-and-gos are not allowed, and a crash landing invalidates the landing attempt.


Aero Design® SCORING

Regular Class The objective of the Regular Class is to design an aircraft that can lift as much weight as possible while observing the available power and aircraft’s length, width, and height requirements. Competing designs are limited to fixed-wing aircraft only. When fully configured for takeoff, Regular Class aircraft shall have a maximum combined length, width, and height of 175 inches and must not weigh more than 55 lbs with payload and fuel. The aircraft must be capable of carrying a fully enclosed rectangular block measuring 5 x 5 x 10 inches. All aircraft must be powered by a single, unmodified O.S. .61FX engine with a E-4010 muffler. Regular Class aircraft will receive a flight score based upon the raw weight lifted and the team’s prediction of the aircraft’s maximum lifting capacity.

Open Class The objective of the Open Class is to design an aircraft that can lift as much weight as possible given the gross weight design constraint. Open Class teams will simulate a heavy-lift aircraft taking off from an undeveloped airstrip with limited power. Competing designs are limited to fixed-wing aircraft only and must not weigh more than 55 lbs with payload and fuel. The aircraft are not limited by wingspan and have no restrictions as to size, shape, or number of payload bays. They must, however, be powered by internal combustion, reciprocating engines with total displacement of less than 80 cubic inches. Open Class aircraft will receive a flight score based upon the raw weight lifted and the team’s prediction of the aircraft’s maximum lifting capacity, plus any bonuses earned.

Micro Class The objective of the Micro Class is to design an aircraft that can carry the highest payload fraction possible while simultaneously pursuing the lowest empty weight possible. The Micro Class competition is divided into three phases: technical report, proof of concept demonstrator, and flight competition. For the technical report, teams are required to submit proposals for competition detailing how their design met or exceeded the design requirements. During the proof of concept demonstrator, aircraft ease of assembly must be demonstrated and an oral presentation must be delivered. Micro Class aircraft are restricted to internal combustion, reciprocating engines or electric motor propulsion. In order to participate in the flight portion of the competition, teams are required to have submitted and received a score for their design report and oral presentation. The flight competition is open to fixed-wing aircraft only.

Baja SAE ® Series OVERVIEW

Baja SAE is an intercollegiate engineering design competition intended to simulate real-world engineering design projects and their associated challenges. The students must function as a team to design, build, test, promote, and compete with a vehicle within the limits of the rules. They also must generate financial support for their project and manage their educational priorities. Each team’s goal is to design and build a prototype of a rugged, single-seat, off-road recreational vehicle intended for sale to the nonprofessional weekend off-road enthusiast. The vehicle must be safe, easily transported, easily maintained, and fun to drive. It should be able to negotiate rough terrain in all types of weather without damage. The vehicle design should be attractive to consumers because of its visual appearance, performance, reliability, and ease of operation and maintenance. It should be manufacturable using predominantly semiskilled labor and standard machine tools.

Baja SAE Montreal; June 11-14, 2008; Montreal, Quebec, Canada Number of registered teams: Baja SAE Tennessee, 93 Baja SAE Illinois, 115 Baja SAE Montreal, 120 2007 winners: Universite de Sherbrooke (Baja SAE-UCF) Auburn University (Baja SAE-SDSM&T) Centro Universitário da FEI (Baja SAE-RIT) Engine: 10-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs & Stratton Corp.


Baja SAE ® Series RULES

Vehicles and associated documentation must be conceived, designed, and fabricated by the team members without direct involvement from the professional engineers, faculty, or professionals in the off-road and racing communities. A maximum of two vehicles per university will be allowed in the competition. Registration is limited to 100 teams for Baja SAE Tennessee, 115 vehicles for Baja SAE Illinois, and 120 vehicles for Baja SAE Montreal. Vehicles must have four or more wheels and be capable of carrying one person who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and 250 lbs. The vehicles’ length is unrestricted, but maximum width is set at 64 inches at the widest point. They must be capable of safe operation over rough terrain, including obstructions such as rocks, sand, jumps, logs, steep inclines, mud, and shallow water. Vehicles competing in the Baja SAE water competition require flotation and water propulsion. All teams are required to use 10-hp engines from Briggs & Stratton, which have been provided to Baja SAE teams free of charge for more than 20 years. Vehicles are required to have a roll cage providing a three-dimensional space surrounding the driver. The cage must be designed and fabricated to prevent any failure of the cage’s integrity. The entire fuel system must be located within the roll cage envelope to protect it from impact. The cockpit must be designed to protect the driver and permit easy driver exit in an emergency. All drivers must use a minimum of a four-strap restraint harness. The vehicle must have at least two independent hydraulic braking systems that act on all wheels and are operated by a single foot, with the pedal directly actuating the master cylinder.


Baja SAE ® Series SCORING

All Baja vehicles must pass a technical inspection before they are permitted to operate under power. The inspection will determine if the vehicle satisfies the requirements and restrictions of the Baja SAE rules. All vehicles that do not pass technical inspection prior to the start of dynamic events will receive a penalty of 50 points. Technical inspection (pass/fail) consists of three parts: engine inspection and governor setting, technical inspection and scrutineering, and kill switch and dynamic brake testing. Baja SAE static events include Engineering Design and Cost. Engineering Design is made up of two events: design report (50 or 100 points) and design evaluation (100 or 125 points). The design report should clearly explain the engineering and design process that would be used in developing each system of the team’s Baja SAE vehicle. The design evaluation is conducted at the event site on the first full day of competition. Design judging will consist of initial design judging of all vehicles and the design finals for the top cars. The design finals determine which car has the best design as determined by the judges. The Cost event (100 points) consists of two related sections: cost report and prototype cost. The cost report provides all the background information to verify the vehicle’s actual cost. The prototype cost is the actual calculation of points given to each team based on the team’s cost compared to the cost of other teams.


Baja SAE ® Series SCORING

Baja SAE Illinois will also include a Presentation event (50 points), where the objective is to convince the “executives” of a hypothetical manufacturing company to purchase the team’s Baja SAE vehicle design and put it into production at a rate of 4,000 units per year. The dynamic events are intended to determine how the Baja SAE vehicles perform under a variety of conditions. Dynamic events include acceleration, traction, maneuverability, specialty events, and endurance. Acceleration (60-75 points) determines the time it takes to accelerate along a 100- or 150-ft flat course. The choice of course length is at the organizer’s discretion. Each team may make two attempts, and scoring will be based on the better of the two attempts. The traction events (60 or 75 points) are designed to demonstrate the vehicles’ ability to use its traction to accomplish various tasks. At the organizer’s discretion, the traction event will be either the hill climb or a pulling event. Each vehicle may make two attempts with the best distance counting for the score. Maneuverability (60 and 75 points) is designed to assess each vehicle’s suspension, steering, and handling. The course may consist of a variety of suspension and handling challenges at the organizer’s option, possibly including tight turns, pylon maneuvers, ruts and bumps, drop-offs, sand, rocks, gullies, logs, and inclines. Each vehicle may make two runs with the best time including penalties counting for the score. Specialty events (60 or 75 points) are designed to test the vehicle under unique off-road conditions that might be available at some Baja SAE competition sites. Endurance (400 points) assesses each vehicle’s ability to operate continuously and at speed over rough terrain containing obstacles in any weather conditions. Endurance may be run for either time or distance. Endurance events for time usually run for four hours, and endurance events for distance continue until at least one car has gone the specified distance.

Clean Snowmobile Challenge

™

2008 Competition Schedule • MARCH 10-15, 2008 » Clean Snowmobile Challenge™ Keweenaw Research Center, Michigan Technological University – Houghton, Mich.

Contact SAE • For questions, requests and credentials, please contact SAE International’s Corporate Communications team at 248-273-4092 or [email protected]. • Visit our online Press Center at http://pr.sae.org. • For more information on Clean Snowmobile Challenge, please visit http://students.sae.org/competitions/snowmobile. • For a complete list of Clean Snowmobile Challenge competitors and contact information, see page 53.


Clean Snowmobile Challenge™ OVERVIEW

The Clean Snowmobile Challenge (CSC), administered by SAE International and the Keewenaw Research Center of Michigan Technological University, is an intercollegiate engineering design competition that challenges students to cost-effectively re-engineer an existing snowmobile for improved emissions and noise while maintaining or improving the performance characteristics of the original snowmobile. The modified snowmobiles compete in a variety of events, including emissions, noise, fuel economy/endurance, acceleration, handling, static display, cold start and design. The event will also have a specific category for zero-emission snowmobiles. These entries will be judged separately; however, they may compete alongside IC engine designs during some events. Zero-emission sleds will be tested using the SAE J1161 test procedure, which reduces the speed of the snowmobile to a steady state of 15 mph. The range test has also been changed for this year’s event to reward the team that can travel the longest distance on a charge, rather than limiting the test to 10 miles.

» FAST FACTS Established: Events: Number of registered teams: 2007 winner: Engine:


2000 March 10-15, 2008; Houghton, Mich. 17 University of Idaho Two-stroke, four-stroke, and rotary engines are allowed

Clean Snowmobile Challenge™ RULES

Registration for the 2008 CSC is limited to one vehicle per university in each of the two categories, IC engine and zero emissions. The intent of the IC engine competition is to develop a snowmobile that is acceptable for use in environmentally sensitive areas such as National Parks. The modified vehicles are expected to be quiet and emit less unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide than current production snowmobiles, without significantly increasing oxides of nitrogen emissions. Teams are expected to add innovative solutions for improving on the performance of the base sled they start with, and design judges will be looking for innovations and incorporating that into their score. The minimum performance expectations for an IC snowmobile include the ability to travel 100 miles without refueling, attain a speed of 45 mph on a smooth trail, and be able to traverse 500 ft in 12 seconds or less. Zero-emissions snowmobiles are designed to operate in areas such as Summit Station, where emissions resulting from the burning of fossil fuels on site can skew research results, impacting the study of the Greenland Ice Cap. The National Science Foundation is currently seeking a zero-emissions vehicle for transporting researchers and support staff to and from research sites. Recent advancements in battery and motor technology have finally made it possible to realize vehicles with ranges adequate for some purposes. Snowmobiles in this category must be zero-emissions by default, therefore no test or points will be given for emissions. Instead, range and draw bar performance will be measured, and innovation will also be judged. Two-stroke, four-stroke, and rotary engines are allowed for competition, and engine displacement is limited to 600 cc or less for two-stroke and rotary engines and 973 cc or less for four-stroke engines. For dieselpowered engines, the engine displacement is limited to 1135 cc or less. Snowmobiles must be fueled with ethanol blends. E85 (85% ethanol and 15% premium gasoline) is the only permitted fuel for IC engines, and diesel-powered engines must be fueled with B10 biodiesel fuel.


Clean Snowmobile Challenge™ SCORING

Teams are required to submit an engineering design paper describing the snowmobile conversion concept, design, and implementation. The paper should explain why modifications were performed and the results of testing and development. Teams are also asked to determine and defend what they believe a reasonable Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) would be for their sled, projecting minimum manufacturing quantities of 5,000 units/year. The purpose of the emissions event (100 points) is to determine the emissions levels generated by each vehicle at predetermined operating conditions following guidelines currently issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The fuel economy and endurance event is used to evaluate the endurance and durability of the competition snowmobile in conjunction with its energy efficiency. Electric-drive vehicles are not tested for fuel economy or endurance. In this event, the snowmobiles are filled with fuel and then must travel 100 miles at an average speed of 30 mph. At the final destination, the snowmobiles are refilled with fuel and the fuel consumption is recorded. Teams that complete the endurance event will receive 100 points. Zero-emissions snowmobiles are subjected to a range test, where vehicles are run at 20 mph until they are unable to proceed. The team that travels the furthest will receive 100 points. Zero-emission vehicles will also be subjected to a draw bar pull test, in which a vehicle must pull a progressive resistance starting at 4 mph until it can no longer proceed through loss of power or traction. The noise event is conducted to determine the noise level generated by each snowmobile according to the current SAE standard test, J192. For this event, zero-emission snowmobiles are tested alongside IC engine snowmobiles. The sound pressure created by the sled must pass the current standards set by the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association. If the team’s sled is equal to or less than 78 dB(A), it shall be awarded 75 points. The acceleration event is used to determine the acceleration performance of each snowmobile. The snowmobile will be accelerated from a standing stop to the maximum speed it can achieve in 500 ft. To pass the event, the elapsed time must be equal to or less than 12 seconds. Zero-emission snowmobiles will be tested alongside IC engines; however, the 12-second rule will not apply and the scoring will be separate from the IC engines. The team with the least time to reach 500 ft will receive 100 points. The purpose of the handling and drivability event is to objectively evaluate the agility and maneuverability of each competition snowmobile. A student driver from each team must complete two consecutive individually timed laps on a slalom style course, and the fastest lap will be recorded. A one-second penalty will be assessed for each cone, barrel, or bale hit, and a five-second penalty will be assessed if the entire sled does not stop in the designated stopping area. In the cold-start event, snowmobiles are cold-soaked overnight and teams have exactly 20 seconds to start their snowmobile, without the use of ether. To pass the event, vehicles must start within 20 seconds and move forward without stalling 100 ft within 120 seconds. Snowmobiles that start in time and move the appropriate distance will receive 50 points. Teams also receive points for static display, where vehicles are placed on display for marketing and promotional purposes, and snowmobile weight.

Formula SAE ® Series OVERVIEW

The Formula SAE (FSAE) competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small, Formula-style, autocross racecars. To give teams maximum design flexibility and freedom to express their creativity and imaginations, few restrictions are placed on the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to 12 months designing, building, testing, and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove their creativity and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. For the purpose of the competition, students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to design, fabricate, and demonstrate a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended market for the car is the nonprofessional weekend autocross racer, therefore it must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities and also be low cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. The car’s marketability is also enhanced by its aesthetics, comfort, and use of common parts. The cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events, including technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high-performance track endurance. The events are scored to determine how well the car performs.

Formula SAE ® Series RULES

Vehicles entered into the competitions must be conceived, designed, fabricated, and maintained by the student team members without direct involvement from professional engineers, racers, machinists, or related professionals. The vehicle must be open-wheeled and open-cockpit and have a wheelbase of at least 60 inches. Vehicles must also be equipped with four wheels and equipped with a fully operational suspension system with shock absorbers, front and rear. The wheels of the car must be 8 inches or more in diameter, and vehicles may be equipped with dry or rain tires. All drivers must use a five-, six-, or seven-point harness. Registration for the Formula SAE events is limited to 120 teams for Formula SAE, 90 teams for Formula SAE West, and 50 teams for Formula SAE VIR.


Formula SAE ® Series SCORING

Among the competitions’ static events are the technical inspection, cost and manufacturing analysis, presentation, and design. The objective of the technical inspection (no points) is to determine if the vehicle meets FSAE rules requirements and restrictions and if, considered as a whole, it satisfies the intent of the rules. The cost and manufacturing analysis event (100 points) is designed to teach participants that cost and a budget are significant factors that must be taken into account in any engineering exercise, and also for students to learn and understand the manufacturing processes and techniques of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase rather than fabricate themselves. The presentation event (75 points) is conducted to evaluate a team’s ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur, weekend, autocross/Sports Car Club of America Solo II racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed. The concept of the design event (150 points) is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will win the design event. The competitions’ dynamic events include acceleration, skid pad, autocross, fuel economy, and endurance. During these events, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle must be maintained, and any vehicle condition that could compromise vehicle integrity will be a valid reason for exclusion by the officials until the problem is rectified. The acceleration event (75 points) evaluates the car’s acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement. The cars will accelerate from a standing start over a distance of 82 yards on a flat surface. The score for the acceleration event is spread between 0 and 75 points based upon the elapsed time. The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn. The skid-pad score is computed based upon the lateral acceleration capability. The autocross event (150 points) evaluates the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The autocross course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and cornering into one event. The endurance event (350 points) is designed to evaluate the overall performance of the car and to test the car’s reliability. The event is run as a single heat approximately 22 km long. The score of the endurance event is the sum of the endurance time score – the team’s time for the event including penalties – and the endurance finish score – 50 points for teams finishing the event in less than the maximum allotted time. The car’s fuel economy (50 points) will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event. The fuel score is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during the endurance heat.

Supermileage® OVERVIEW

The Supermileage competition is being held to increase public awareness in the area of fuel economy and student involvement. Competing teams are required to build a one-person, fuel-efficient vehicle based on a small four-cycle engine. The vehicles run a specified course with the vehicle obtaining the highest combined miles per gallon (mpg) rating plus design segment points winning the event. Teams formed by students at both universities and high schools are eligible to participate in the competition. Collegiate and high school teams will be judged in separate categories but will simultaneously participate in the competition.

» FAST FACTS Established: Events: Number of registered teams: 2007 winners: Engine:


1983 June 5-6, 2008; Marshall, Mich. 35 Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (1541 mpg) Air-cooled, four cycle with a 2.61 kW (3.5 hp) rating at 3600 rpm, supplied by Briggs & Stratton

Supermileage® RULES

Vehicles must be conceived, designed, and fabricated by the team members without direct involvement from professional engineers, faculty, and technical staff in the college/school or professionals in the racing community. Vehicle length, width, and height are not regulated; however, the driver must be fully enclosed within the body of the vehicle to prevent driver contact with the pavement. A minimum of three wheels must be in contact with the ground at all times when in operation. Vehicles also must have a steering geometry capable of a 50-ft maximum inside turning radius. All vehicles must use the same base engine, which are supplied by Briggs & Stratton at no cost to the teams. The air-cooled, four-cycle engine has a 3.5 hp rating at 3600 rpm. Batteries can be carried on the vehicle, however, they must in no way be capable of powering the vehicle. The sole source of power must be from the four-cycle engine, meaning no human power system, sail, or inertial system may be used during competiton. Minimum driver mass is 130 lb fully equipped with a helmet. Drivers who do not meet the minimum weight requirements must provide ballast to bring their weight up to the specified amount. Drivers must be able to exit the vehicle within 15 seconds, unassisted, in the case of an emergency. A maximum of two support people must also be able to quickly extract a driver from a vehicle without assistance from the driver within 20 seconds. Drivers also must have adequate visibility to maintain control and have situational awareness and may not be positioned head forward in the vehicle.


Supermileage® SCORING

The performance run will consist of each vehicle running six laps around a 1.6-mile oval test track. Vehicles must be capable of ascending a 1 percent grade and descending a 7 percent grade. Vehicles must achieve a minimum average lap speed of 15 mpg and cannot surpass a maximum average lap speed of 25 mph. This means that vehicles must travel a total distance of 9.6 miles in a maximum of 38.4 minutes, with each lap taking no longer than 3 minutes, 50 seconds to complete. If the minimum average lap speed is not maintained or the maximum is exceeded, a penalty will be assessed by subtracting from the mpg achieved. Prior to the performance run, an official fuel tank will be filled, weighed, and installed on the vehicle. Upon completion of the six laps, the timers will record the elapsed time and the fuel tank will be removed and weighed. The mpg calculation for the vehicle will then be computed, dividing the 9.6-mile distance by the amount of fuel used. Any penalties incurred will then be subtracted from the mpg calculation. A written design report must be submitted that is worth up to 250 points. The report serves as the proposal that documents the design intent and goals of the team, as a record of the design, and as an information document to show how the vehicle adheres to the rules. A verbal report, worth a maximum of 100 points, will also be conducted on the first day of the competition. Each team must supply three team members for a verbal examination conducted by a panel provided by the event’s organizers. An award will be given to the team with the top overall score, determined by the sum of the points earned on the design proposal added to the fuel mileage. All teams will receive a financial award proportional to the individual team overall score provided a successful, positive fuel economy run is achieved. An award will also be given for the team with the highest design proposal score.

2007 YEAR IN REVIEW

» Achieving 1,541 mpg, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (Terra Haute, Ind.) captured top honors in the collegiate division of the Supermileage competition June 8 at the Eaton Proving Grounds near Marshall, Mich. Mater Dei High School, from Evansville, Ind., won the high school division with 1,692 mpg. » This marks Rose-Hulman’s first event championship in four years of fuel-efficient vehicle competitions. The team had placed second in the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas Challenge earlier in the year in Fontana, Calif., and was third in the 2004 Supermileage event. » Battling windy conditions, the team’s vehicle completed six 1.6-mile laps on the road course on approximately 23 mL of gasoline – an efficiency ratio that equated to 1,541 mpg – on its fifth and final attempt. » The team showed efficiency improvements throughout the day, starting with 1,087 mpg on the first 9.6-mile (15.4-km) tour. » Cedarville University was second at 1,240 mpg, and the University of Massachusetts–Amherst was third at 1,125 mpg.
