Design and Analysis of a Pedal Box System for FSAE 2010

The main purpose of this project is to design and analyze an effective and practical pedal box for the 2010 UTP Formula SAE car by improving the parameters such as pedal box size, pedal travel, pedal ratio, input force and ergonomic concept. The pedal box that used for braking and accelerating is...
