Hello, I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm working in traction control for Formula 1 cars.
The traction control in the cars is simple, too simple: an engine cut is done when the engine is at a certain RPM and slip value. A matrix of four values of RPM and slip has to be provided to limit the rev.
I have a bunch of question about the tuning:
What is the best way to tune this kind of traction control?
What parameters can influence this values?
As the traction control is not aware of the gear: do gear ratios have any influence? I thought that shorter gearbox induce more acceleration at lower RPMs and thus, more slip risk.
What is the tolerated slip for a formula 1 car?. I know that there is a slip value for peak acceleration and for road cars is about 17%. What is the value for an F1?
Thank you.
