These are the models and projects that will be worked on during F22F23:
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 Dashboard Prototype - 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
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
