The Monash driving simulator is the result of significant input and development with both engineers and drivers of the Monash Motorsport team. This is to aid in improving overall public relations, with the aim to attract the public and invite discussions regarding the team and project. Will a higher performance, larger, aerodynamic package disrupt driver visibility? This view in design is commonly dismissed in favor of raw performance values.ĭeliver a hands-on experience representing Monash University at external events. Provide an alternative, driver behavior based perspective during the design of a vehicle. This includes both vehicle characteristics as well as track memorisation. The objectives of developing this driving simulation were to:Ĭreate a resource that will assist in driver preparation for previously not driven tracks at both testing and competition. In the absence of a physical car and representative competition track for training, alternative methods must be explored. As a result, drivers must be trained and prepared for the competition. The format of the competition requires that all drivers are students and more than often engineers from within the team. The purpose of this project is to identify how a driving simulator can be used to improve the performance of an FSAE team. Static events consist of Cost, Business Presentation and Design, which require students to justify their designs to a panel of judges and justify their business case and vehicle cost. Dynamic events include Acceleration, Skid-pad, Auto-cross and Endurance competitions that test the performance of a car on track. The competition contains two disciplines dynamic and static events. Introduction:įormula Student (FSAE) is an international engineering competition in which universities design, manufacture and race open wheel style cars. A driving simulator has been developed for use by Monash Motorsport, with the overall objective to improve the performance of a Formula Student (FSAE) team.
