OPERATIONS

The Operations department encompasses a series of important areas for the execution of the project: from establishing and maintaining the team’s sponsors, the team’s image and internal and external organisation. It also develops two Static Events.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Marketing
  • Logistics
  • Sponsors
  • Business Plan
  • Cost & Manufacturing

ELETRONICS & SOFTWARE

The Electronics & Software department is responsible for the development, integration, and electrical implementation of the prototype, being therefore a crucial part of the design and manufacturing of an electric racing prototype. As such, this department aims to ensure the complete development of its electrical circuits – from sizing the accumulator to implementing all prototype sensors – and the necessary software to ensure its operation.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Low Voltage Systems
  • Tractive System & Control
  • Embedded Software

AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

The Autonomous Systems department aims to develop a sensing, processing, and actuation system that allows the prototype to navigate a track without human intervention.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Perception
  • State Estimation
  • Path Planning
  • Driverless Control
  • Data Infrastructure

VEHICLE DYNAMICS

The Vehicle Dynamics department defines the geometric, kinematic, and dynamic parameters of the prototype, It’s also responsible for imposing design requirements on other departments and validating decision-making during the design and project process. Afterwards, It’s responsible for testing the prototype to prepare it for the competitions.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Suspension Kinematics & Dynamics
  • Control

CHASSIS

The Chassis department designs the frame of the prototype, that fixes all of the prototype’s components, whilst complying with the rules; the driver ergonomics and also the overall packaging (mechanical and electrical integration of every component).

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Primary Structure
  • Packaging
  • Driver Interface

AERODYNAMICS

The Aerodynamics department aims to develop the aerodynamic package and bodywork, enabling the high-performing vehicle to maximise grip. It focuses on the design and experimental validation of the external geometry of the vehicle.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Aerodynamic Design
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Validation
  • Integration & Mounting

SUSPENSION

The objective of the Suspension department is to design and manufacture solutions that maximize the friction force from the contact between the tire and track, aiming to reduce load variations in this connection. Hence, it designs the wheel assembly, the steering system and all suspension linkage.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Wheel assembly
  • Braking
  • Steering
  • Wishbones & Vibrations

POWERTRAIN

The Powertrain department’s main objective is the integration of components responsible for the prototype’s movement, namely the accumulator, inverter, and transmission. It allows for the vehicle to transmit the power from the cells up to the wheel.

SUB-DEPARTMENTS:

  • Cooling
