| dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, a single mass model lap time simulation was designed, implemented and validated in MATLAB. The goal of this simulation was to accurately predict the velocity of a formula style open wheeled race car on a given track. The simulation was constructed in MATLAB, and features a function based design that will allow the core algorithm to be used with more sophisticated vehicle models. The code was tested and validated using a combination of contrived and collected map data, and a strong correlation of 0.8067 was shown with 95% confidence bounds of 0.8028, and 0.8105. Finally, this thesis outlines proper testing techniques to obtain the data required to complete the validation process of this simulation. | en_US |
