APLICACIÓN DE LAS TICS EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE DOS MOTOS QUE PARTICIPAN EN LA COMPETICIÓN MOTOSTUDENT 2016

Abstract

A group of teachers and students of the University of La Rioja participates in the International Competition MotoStudent 2016. The group members are designing and building two motorbikes in order to participate in the motorbikes categories with combustion engine and electric motor. This paper presents the technological infrastructure installed in one laboratory where they are undertaking initial studies and design of the elements that make up the two motorbikes. First of all the hardware infrastructure such as servers, NAS, and other equipment used are described. Then the communications infrastructure of wired and wireless network is analyzed. These communication networks allow interconnection between all the group members. Next, the types of software packages installed on the computers are detailed. Students and teachers are using these packages to perform analysis, synthesis, modeling and simulation focused on the different parts of the motorbikes and as a whole. This infrastructure is playing an important role throughout the process of design and construction of both motorbikes, since all team participants can work in an efficient manner, expecting to get positive results in the competition.
