Goal: Give our driver an optimal driving profile.

What do we need?

Car Model
- Energy Generation
  - Solar energy
  - Energy being absorbed by the solar cells
  - Regen braking
- Energy Consumption
  - Dynamics model
    - Aerodynamic losses
    - Elevation changes
    - Friction
  - Auxillary Stuff
    - Motor losses
    - LV losses
    - Battery efficiency

Optimization
- Take car model + requirements + route + meteo data => driving profile
- Timing (start + stop)
- Speed requirement
- Lights + Turns
- City driving
- Track driving
- Smoothing of drive profile
- Charging times
- Strategic stops
- Speed limits
- Stops & turns
- Traffic dumping

How many kwh do we have in the pack? → Measure it!
What is the weight of the car? → We know that!
What is the rolling resistance of the tires? → Get data & build empirical model
What are the aero losses? → Get data & build an empirical model
- We need a working speedometer/telemetry, anemometer, and measuring of speed vs. time.
How much energy does the car lose being alive? → Ask Taiping (hopefully he figures it out!)
How much solar energy do we get?
- How much energy does the sunshine?
- How much of it do we pick up?
- When driving?
- With array normalization?
Motor efficiency ???
Battery loading efficiency ??? → Ask Micah Black
SOC ??? Karl ???
