Abstract
This thesis aims to develop a quasi steady-state lap time simulator for a Formula Student electric prototype developed by Squadra Corse PoliTO. The idea is to create a tool that helps the team to evaluate the influence of the main parameters of the vehicle on the performance and define the race strategy in terms of a trade-off between lap time and energy consumption. In the following chapters, a point-mass quasi steady-state simulator is developed. The vehicle is modelled as a point-mass with longitudinal and lateral friction coefficients, longitudinal and vertical aerodynamics, and with an electric powertrain composed of motors, inverters, and a battery pack.
This model is adopted in the early stages of the design to find the balance between the primary input values of the car, such as mass, aerodynamic coefficients, and battery pack capacity
