You do not need to have any of the above to join the team!However, with the tasks this term a working of knowledge would be critical to quickly get on board to work on some tasks.
Term Projects
These are the models and projects that will be worked on during F22:
RouteModel - accurate modelling the various real-world elements of the race route
Loops Optimization - supporting decision-making for optional loops to maximize distance within energy constraints
Elevation Optimization - Investigate the potential impacts of elevation changes on the vehicle optimize performance based on readings
Wind - Investigate the potential impacts of wind on the vehicle and determine how to accurately model directional wind against MSXV
RouteModel GUI - interactive tool to display the race route and update our models
Optimization Model - Determine the optimal speed the car should be travelling at based on inputs from all other models
Solar Array Testing - Testing solar cell efficiency under different conditions to predict power and energy input under different conditions
Solar Model - use of APIs to predict the amount of solar irradiance along the race route and how much energy this will contribute to the battery
Weather Model - use of APIs to predict the upcoming weather and temperature of the race route, and how this will affect our race decisions
State of Charge (SoC) - calculating the amount of energy in the battery pack and predicting the future efficiency
Database - storage of all data that passes through our models, both inputs and outputs
Support Projects - Automating functions among the Strategy team to support operations
e.g. Finance Dashboard - Creation of a dashboard to graph the team financial information for better reporting
