Lap Time Calculation #3
Description
Building a lap time simulator mainly based on this guide
- Writing all the formulas as functions in Matlab
- Using functions to calculate parameters needed for laptime
- Using track data and formulas to calculate lap time
- Skidpad (24.232 seconds/lap)
- Endurance
- Autocross
- Acceleration
Calculations
Need to implement:
12/06/2020
- Clean up the graphs
- Plot max speed and radius separately
- Engine RPM and gear
- Throttle position
Issues:
12/06/2020
- Corner radius values jumps to infinity between straight and curved sectors, need to smooth it out
Skidpad
Lap Time: 24.232 seconds/lap (timing starts after straight)
Track Length: 242.21 meters
Issues:
12/06/2020
- Mark when each circle is complete
- Calculated latG goes up to 2.25G, should be around 1.5G (check corner speed)
Endurance
Lap Time: 165.46 seconds/lap
Track Length: 2650.2 meters
Issues:
12/06/2020
- Scaling of the plots is off
- Lap time is ~5 seconds slower than expected, look into calculations?
