Evolutionary Computation And Formula 1 Racing



Hallo!!

The 2006 Formula 1 Season already began. But the first official trainning session only will be held within some hours. So, here we have a chance to talk about Evolutionary Computation and Formula 1 Racing.

There is an interesting and old article in New Scientist magazine about tunning of Formula 1 cars through simulated evolution. Click here to read it.

The researchers applied a Genetic Algorithm to tune a Formula 1 car (to be fair this car is not real, it is from the PC game Formula One Challenge). They needed to deal with a lot of variables, such as rev limits, gear ratios, tyre pressures and suspension damping. Pit Stop strategies can be also done through Evolutionary Computation.

Formula 1 Racing is a giant business where there are some hundred of millions of dollars involved, so, as money is a crucial factor to that motorsport, would be interesting if the Teams/Scuderias paid a little of attention for what Evolutionary Computation can offer them, because it can mean a valuable saving to them.

Até Mais!!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away MapleStory Mesos, Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there Maple Story Mesos, experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards MapleStory Mesos.

You laugh at me for being different, but I laugh at you for being the same LOTRO Gold, the consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past Lord Of The Rings Gold, to change your future,LOTRO Gold alter your decisions today.
