FOR 6:1 AND STEEPER GRATE SLOPES

SOME HIGHWAY DRAINAGE STRUCTURES HAVE A GEOMETRICAL CONFIGURATION THAT CAN CAUSE AN ERRANT AUTOMOBILE TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP OR VEER OUT OF CONTROL. ONE SUCH STRUCTURE IS THE END CULVERT INLET WITH OR WITHOUT HEAD-WALLS. IN RECENT YEARS, HIGHWAY ENGINEERS HAVE USED SLOPING INLET AND OUTLET GRATES THAT ALLOW AN AUTOMOBILE TO TRAVERSE THE CULVERT OPENING RATHER THAN COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. SLOPING GRATES ARE CURRENTLY DESIGNED ON THE BASIS OF JUDGMENT AND EXPERIENCE BECAUSE OBJECTIVE CRITERIA ARE PRACTICALLY NONEXISTENT. A MATHEMATICAL SIMULATION TECHNIQUE, WAS USED TO INVESTIGATE THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF A SELECTED STANDARD- SIZE AUTOMOBILE TRAVERSING A MEDIAN CONTAINING A CROSSOVER AND A SLOPING CULVERT INLET GRATE. TWENTY-THREE COMPUTER SIMULATIONS WERE MADE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT 8:1 DITCH SIDE SLOPES AND 10:1 CULVERT GRATE SLOPES PRODUCED TOLERABLE AUTOMOBILE ACCELERATIONS TO AN UNRESTRAINED OCCUPANT. STEEPER COMBINATIONS OF SIDE AND GRATE SLOPES WERE FOUND TO PRODUCE SEVERE ACCELERATIONS AND/OR ROLL-OVER AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED WHERE POSSIBLE. FOR PURPOSES OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE DYNAMIC TIRE LOAD ON 8:1 AND FLATTER GRATE SLOPES WAS ABOUT FIVE TIMES THE AUTOMOBILE CURB WEIGHT. FOR 6:1 AND STEEPER GRATE SLOPES, THE DYNAMIC TIRE LOAD REACHED VALUES OF ABOUT 10 TIMES THE AUTOMOBILE CURB WEIGHT.

In addition, the seating position is pleasantly high, making it extremely comfortable. With the exception of the driver's seat, all seats can also be folded and removed. If the seats are "only" folded, this creates a level cargo area with a capacity of up to 1,005 liters. With four people on board, cargo capacity up to window level height is still 220 liters. Since the low-profile engine of the space up! 2.8 meters can be stowed in a pass-through to the front cargo space. Remember: The concept van is just 3.68 meters long and thereby 15 centimeters shorter than the Fox, which is the most compact Volkswagen today. Since the car's cockpit was conceived as a module to be applied across all models of the "New Small Family", the cockpit unit was copied from the up! Frankfurt, with slight modifications. It is a cockpit with a great future. In detail, the space up!

In the cockpit, an 8-inch monitor displays information such as vehicle speed, fuel level and range as well as momentary CO2 emissions. In the middle of the instruments a 7-inch monitor shows how future humanmachine interfaces might look and operate. Here all conceivable functions are controlled via a touchscreen that - using proximity sensors - reacts to gestures as well, i.e. specific hand movements. Menuing was retooled and reorganized so that people without computer science educations would be able to operate the system. The developers intentionally separated "display" and "control" levels from one another. Always shown on the screen is a control bar with standard functions such as climate control or audio volume control. Developers packaged functions of other higher-order systems - navigation, telephone, radio, Internet, images, films, etc. - on a display level that has been referred to internally as the "main menu carousel" - a type of virtual carousel. It consists of the icons of different system functions (telephone, navigation, etc.). When the user touches the "main menu carousel" it can be rotated by touchscreen. Visually, this control is just as spectacular as it is intuitive. When the desired function appears on the main menu carousel - such as the telephone - the user just needs to move his or her hand to the display to switch to the telephone menu thanks to proximity sensor technology. It was true on the up! The new type of user control is fun, easy to understand in any cultural environment and very safe. That is precisely what is typical of Volkswagen. Toward the end of this decade, the first Volkswagen customers might be able to enjoy this new generation of intuitive controls aboard the New Small Family.

The engine will run exactly as it did before purchasing APR software. APR's octane-specific calibrations are available for various premium and race fuels around the world. Each performance mode is a completely new calibration, altered specifically for the characteristics of the fuel quality selected. APR's Valet Mode protects your vehicle from becoming an expensive toy for unauthorized individuals. By enabling Valet Mode, the vehicle's performance is extremely limited. Launch control is uneventful, the vehicles top speed is limited and the engine's redline is reduced. Fault code erase allows the user to erase and reset engine related trouble codes and ECU adaptation data without using a specialty tool. Security lockout prevents unauthorized individuals from using APR's EMCS functionality. When enabled, APR's EMCS features will appear completely invisible until a user specified 2 to 4-digit security code is entered. When activated, Anti-Theft prevents the engine from starting even if the factory key is used.

The vehicle will be completely immobilized until a user specified 2 to 4-digit security code is entered. APR Mobile is a simple yet powerful tool designed to enhance the APR tuning experience. APR Mobile installs on smart phones, tablets and other devices and provides a wireless connection to the vehicle’s engine control unit or ECU. Once connected, the device can be used to access APR’s EMCS program switching features, read and clear fault codes and data log the ECU at high data rates not found on other commercially available tools. The app can also be used to access APR’s latest news articles, locate dealers in APR’s network and review previously saved data logging sessions.
