Video and Webinar Series

Student Teams Share Their Keys to Success

See how successful teams use MATLAB® and Simulink® in their racecar development. This video series contains all episodes of the MATLAB and Simulink student lounge featuring examples of how teams have improved their car’s performance on the track. For example, learn from AMZ Racing how lap time simulation helped them during concept development, or how TU Delft Racing used automated code generation to bring their vehicle controls to their ECU in less than five minutes.

Weather Forecast System for the World Solar Challenge

Join Nils Tersptra as he discusses how the TU Eindhoven team used MATLAB to forecast weather to help with their race strategy in the World Solar Challenge.

TUfast Eco Team's Longitudinal Cruise Controller

Maximize efficiency by using an algorithm-based driving strategy with a vehicle model and GPS track data. Maximilian Amm, Alexander Hammerl, and Maximilian Mühlbauer designed a velocity controller for their EducEco / Shell Eco Marathon vehicle. Hammerl and Mühlbauer join Christoph Hahn, of MathWorks, to present their vehicle model and discuss their integration of a longitudinal velocity controller.

Lateral Vehicle Dynamics Simulation

Improve your design parameters by modeling lateral vehicle dynamics using a two-mass car model in Simulink, and a Simscape model for sprung mass travel validation. Roni Deb, vehicle dynamics engineer from Camber Racing, demonstrates their models.

Steady-State Lap Time Simulation

Use lap time simulation to make better design decisions. Paco Sevilla, of TUfast Formula Student team, and Christoph Hahn, of MathWorks, explain how lap time simulation can be used to compare vehicle concepts in the early design stage.

Developing a New Control Unit Using an FPGA

Simplify your engine control unit by merging multiple devices and using an FPGA. After an introduction to FPGAs and the Xilinx Zynq 7000 platform, Sebastian Straßl and Alexander Ehard, from Starkstrom Augsburg, demonstrate HDL code generation.

Driver-in-the-Loop Simulations

Håkan Richardson, of Chalmers Formula Student team, and Christoph Hahn, of MathWorks, discuss driver-in-the-loop simulations.

From Telemetry Data to Suspension Modeling

Elias Schmidek of ElefantRacing, the Formula Student Team of the University Bayreuth, introduces you to working with suspension telemetry data to improve car performance.
