Abstract

In this project, a self-developed laptime software for a Formula Student vehicle is designed using MATLAB and tested. The application consists of three main parts. Firstly, track modelling, a real track is meshed from ay and ̇ψ obtained from the physical car. Some transformations are needed to do the most accurate approximation. Secondly, vehicle modelling. A 7-DOF two track quasi-static model is used. A GGV surface, obtained via an optimization problem using the casADi tool and the IPOPT solver defines the limits of the single seater. After, the velocity profile is determined. Finally, simulations and results of the software are commented, analysed and compared to real data
