Parameter estimation for lateral dynamic tire models using empirical inertial data: A comparative case study of gradient-based algorithms vs genetic algorithms

Self-driving vehicles are the future of automotive engineering. Systems that take over control from the driver are developed to be able to interact with the conditions of the road and other obstacles. To develop these systems, developers use vehicle models to simulate the behaviour of the moving vehicle. The systems developed using these models...

The Improvement of Simulation Correlation for Formula 1: With a focus on kerb riding

The highly competitive nature of Formula one makes every team eager to find areas of improvement on their cars. In the case of Scuderia Toro Rosso, it was found that there is a gap to improve performance while driving on kerb stones. Analysis of competitors showed that they can take wider driving lines with more speed. In order to improve this...
