This project will develop new ideas for materials that can be used to improve the safety, performance and appearance of accelerator pedals used in automobiles. The team will investigate the range of feasible materials and mechanical design alternatives, as well as their economic viability. Selected concepts will be tested through a carefully designed testing program so that the performance of alternatives can be compared with confidence.The results of this project will provide important information to Daimler-Chrysler that can be used for follow-up design work; and can lead to other projects that explore new concepts for automobile components and systems. This project continues the work of a Fall 2000 IPRO team.
