After the meeting on 9/17/2015, i looked into the control code of the scale bogie and got an idea of how it functions. The code was written by Korean team and it has very little to no comments on the code. The code have to be revised to include new specifications of the design. The team came up with the idea of a tracking device, sort of mini GPS system to define the bogie's position. In the new design a sensor will be implemented for collision control between bogies.
The scale model's track design was also analyzed and came to decision of extending the track with the current design. The current track has a working prototype and for the concern of time, it will only be extended and will try to include some slopes of 17 degrees.
Lastly, the wayside pickup power of the scale model was designed. The team came up with some ideas for how it can be implemented into the current track. The designs will be picked based on the application, cost, and material. By the end of this week the team may have a design for wayside pickup.
