A telemetry-driven architecture for the development of data-intensive race strategies

The paper presents the design, development, and implementation of a telemetry system able to acquire the vehicle parameters and process them in real time, thanks to a specific mathematical model. The live data provided to the driver helps establishing the best driving strategy, also thank to a continuous connection with the pitwall. The architecture of the telemetry system consists of an electronic board, capable of managing information towards the driver, received from a smartphone, and forwarded to the cloud for external monitoring, which allows for real-time changes to the control strategy. In particular, the developed system has been used during the Shell Eco-marathon competition to obtain the lowest possible consumption.
