Johnson Controls vehicle systems lab

The Vehicle Engineering Systems Lab is designed to support teaching and research in the automotive engineering field. The major piece of equipment is a 4×4 vehicle chassis dynamometer with individual torque control of each of the four rolls.

Some of the other lab equipment includes:

  • Sierra CP robot driver
  • Corrsys-Datron fuel flow sensor
  • ETAS data acquisition
  • dSPACE HIL equipment
  • Thermal management instrumentation
  • Kistler Wheel Torque sensors

Dynamometer

  • This state-of-the-art dynamometer is sed for vehicle performance tests, fuel economy assessment, acceleration performance analysis, and component validation.
  • Unique 4×4 vehicle chassis dynamometer with individual wheel torque electronic controls of one, two, three, or all four drive wheels and speed capability of up to 100 mph.
  • Four individual wheel power absorbers with 175 HP per wheel capability for continuous operation and up to 350 HP intermittently.
  • Adjustable 89-135 inch wheelbase with an extension up to 175 inches. vehicle performance: open and limited slip differentials, locking differentials, viscous drive, traction control, and other mechanical and mechatronic driveline systems.
  • Research wheel power balance to improve tire design.
  • Research in these areas and more:
    • Durability

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
