A Digital Machine-Executable V-Model for a Formula Student Racing Car

Based on a manual formalization step of the requirements, a digital machine-executable V-Model for a Formula Student racing car is shown to automatically generate a permissible design solution of a racing car which fulfills all given requirements. The V-Model used is reduced in its full generality by several shortcuts in form of some predetermined design solution patterns such as the choice of an electric propulsion in the form of 2 or 4 wheel hub motors, a concentrated battery pack and a fixed monocoque design. In the race car design, the focus is on the braking system which is designed and optimized for maximum system performance. The design procedure of the braking system is encoded in a sequence of machine executable model transformations to adapt the designated race car design in an optimal way to a specific race track.
