Project Overview

• Assisted Direct Start• Turns off engine when not needed• Increases gas efficiency

Overview of Goals

• Increase gas efficiency• Ensure vehicle functionality

remains unhindered• Allow driver to disable the system• Maintain vehicle safety

Considerations

● Engine temperature● Battery level● Speedometer reading● Pedal states

Domain Research

• Investigated Ford quick start technology– System in use already (2013

Fusion)– System execution– Fuel economy – Engine restart time

Project Constraints

• Project Constraints– Sensor dependability– Quick start technology

•Temperature requirements (200F)•Battery requirements (15%)•User comfort and safety

ADS System States

Enabled if:– engine temperature > 200 degrees F– car is not in park

Disabling actions:• car is in park• engine temp falls below 200 F

Engine States

Engine off:• When speed falls below 2.5mph only if:

– cabin temp is acceptable– battery is above 20%

Engine on when:• acceleration pedal pressed• temperature moves out of acceptable range• battery falls below 15%• ADS is disabled

Part II: Model-based View of System

• Class Diagram

– Relationship between ADS and subsystems

• State Diagram– Transitions between states of ADS system
