Week 3: More brainstorming & project Proposal

For week three, we have provided our project proposal  and the objectives of the wayside power. We have proposed to provide a third rail system to power our the full scale bogie and controls.  Then, we proposed to integrate super capacitors to power the bogie when it is in motion  or has momentum. the introduction to supercapacitors will be ideal when there is a junction and no wayside power is needed. To keep in mind we consider the wayside power to kick in when there is acceleration and deceleration  or more explicitly when the bogie is coming/leaving the station.
 After the project proposal presentation, Dan  and Ron mentioned that the third rail will not be ideal and there are danger associated. This matter will be discussed with the group next time we meet.

in conclusion, we have brainstormed and researched more ways to provide power to move the bogie.
