Project Sponsor: Dr. Scott Trimboli, Associate Professor

Responsible Department: Electrical & Computer Engineering

Goal: Develop and implement a specialized all-terrain electric vehicle (ATEV) for the purpose of integration and testing of electrified
transportation research.

Impact: The ATEV was used as a research platform to develop an in-house battery management system to monitor and control the safety and health of the high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack. Improvements to design and function during the re-build process allowed the UCCS battery research team to test new hardware designs, implement novel research in battery modeling and controls, and conduct extensive use-case testing and data collection.
