“…Change management: manage the changes Stages 3, 4, and 5 should be done with an Agile approach, doing several cycles, or "springs" in the Agile terminology. An Agile approach is a development method based on iterative and incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams (Socha et al, 2013). It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and delivery, and a time-boxed iterative approach, and it encourages rapid and flexible responses to change.…”

“…Although the vehicle's crashworthiness is a major design consideration, occupant safety was not the primary objective for the originally designed Wikispeed Car (Socha et al, 2013). As an established manufacturing group, the car has already complied with the minimum requirements of standardised crash testing -in this case the US-NCAP (Denning, 2012).…”

“…The project sought to create an ultra-lightweight, ultra-fuel-efficient and affordable 'roadster car' that is fun, fast and pleasurable to drive. The Wikispeed car evolved from an eco-challenge racing car which has meant that luxury has been forsaken for a lightweight sports car without a roof, lockable trunk and doors (Socha et al, 2013). The Wikispeed can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (mph) in less than 5 seconds, has a top speed of 140 mph, weighs 1,404 imperial pounds and is capable of 100 miles per gallon (mpg).…”

Purpose: Road passenger transportation faces a global challenge of reducing environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions due to vehicle weight increases needed to enhance passenger safety and comfort. This paper presents a preliminary mechanical design evaluation of the Wikispeed Car (with a focus on body bending, body torsion and body crash) to assess light-weighting implications and improve the vehicle's environmental performance without compromising safety. Approach: For this research, finite element analysis (FEA) were performed to examine the Wikispeed chassis for light-weighting opportunities in three key aspects of the vehicle's design, namely: i) for body bending the rockers (or longitudinal tubes); ii) for body torsion (again on the rockers but also the chassis as a whole); and iii) for crash safetyon the frontal crash structure. A two phase approach was adopted, namely: in phase one, a 3D CAD geometry was generated; and in phase two FEA was generated. The combination of analysis results was used to develop the virtual model using FEA tools and the model was updated based on the correlation process. Findings: The research revealed that changing the specified material Aluminium Alloy 6061-T651 to Magnesium EN-MB10020 allows vehicle mass to be reduced by an estimated 110kg, thus, producing a concomitant 10% improvement in fuel economy. The initial results imply that the current beam design made from magnesium would perform worst during a crash as the force required to buckle the beam is the lowest (between 95.2 kN and 134 kN). Steel has the largest bandwidth of force required for buckling and also requires the largest force for buckling (between 317 kN and 540 kN). Originality: This is the first study of its kind to compare and contrast between material substitution and its impact upon Wikispeed car safety and performance.

“…Complementarily, there have recently been investigations of the applicability of suitably modified and adapted agile techniques in hardware manufacture, in domains including automotive component and aeronautical product design and manufacture [11,12]. Process developments that promote efficient and effective design, modification, and evolution of aerospace hardware will make development of spacecraft product lines more attractive, especially if these changes also improve, simplify, or facilitate testing of those products.…”

Software and systems engineering for aerospace platforms presents many unique challenges. The decision if, and how, to employ software product line architectures is one recurring question. Real options analysis-applying option valuation techniques to budgeting decisions-can be a powerful tool for engineering managers, project leaders, and mission directors. In this paper, we demonstrate a real options valuation approach to explore this question.
