  1. 1. Optimizing a Steering System for a KTH Formula Student Race car

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Carl Elgcrona; Emil Nordahl; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a steering controller for aFormula Student driverless electric vehicle to enhance its performance and efficiency. By creatinga testing setup and testing scripts, the controller's sensitivity to various CAN bus parameters, suchas periodicity and message priority, could be assessed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Air Cooling of Lithium Polymer Batteries : Experiments and Calculations on the KTH Formula Student 2022 Race Car Accumulator

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : William Olsson; Linus Grinde; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lithium batteries work optimally at a temperature of around 15 to 35 °C, with a maximum temperature of around 60 °C. To get the most performance out of a formula student car the cooling needs to keep the battery cells within these temperatures during the competition. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design of compact automotive heat exchanger, analysing the effects of RANS models and utilising Additive Manufacturing

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Nikhil Srikkanth; Bartosz Brzuchalski; [2022]
    Keywords : Turbulence; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; KTH Formula Student; metal additive manufacturing; CFD; turbulent kinetic energy; boundary layer;

    Abstract : The analytical modelling of complex turbulent airflow remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of physics, but in this paper two widely used Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes models (k-$\epsilon$ and k-$\omega$ SST) are compared while designing a heat exchanger for the KTH Formula Student electric race car. CAD software was used to design lattices for the heat exchanger core and theorise about how to increase heat transfer while also taking into account the utilisation of metal additive manufacturing.

  6. 5. Optimal Control and Race Line Planning for an Autonomous Race Car

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Jacob Olausson; Jacob Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In autonomous racing, arguably the most impactful modules in terms of lap time minimization are planning and control. Linköping University's Formula Student team has recently begun an organizational evolution towards building electric and autonomous race cars and this thesis aims to provide a solid foundation for a planning and control solution that the organization can continue to build upon.
