The MMR Driverless team was founded in 2017 and is committed to building a autonomous driving car to challenge university teams from all over Europe in Formula SAE, an international university competition of engineering design.
Into the competition, we are part of the Driverless category, which features the autonomous driving single-seater, born in Germany in 2017 and landed in Italy only the following year.
An autonomous driving vehicle must have the same capabilities as a human driver but enhanced: what does it do? Perceives and interprets the internal and external environment, processes received information and plans a driving strategy, implements the previously planned strategy using the engine, steering and brakes. Our story is written step by step, as we work to put these goals of autonomous driving into practice.
Our first prototype: DL21
CHASSIS: Carbon fiber monocoque
WEIGHT: 265 kg
ENGINE: 600 cc, 4 cylinders in line, longitudinal
POWER: 80 CV
WIRING: + 1 km of cables
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING: 5 actuation modules
BUSINESS e MARKETING
Si concentra sul rapporto con sponsor e fornitori, sulle pubbliche relazioni e sull'immagine del Team.
È inoltre responsabile del Business Plan, il punto focale delle competizioni che riflette la performance dell'intera divisione.
DINAMICA DEL VEICOLO
Mira a raggiungere la migliore prestazione sul giro. Controlla il comportamento del veicolo modificando i parametri su sottosistemi come sospensioni, sterzo e freni. Le scelte vengono effettuate in base al feedback dei piloti e alle simulazioni virtuali.
AERODINAMICA
La divisione Aerodinamica lavora sul design dell'aerokit volto a trasferire la massima potenza del motore in pista mantenendo la dinamica efficiente. Tutti i progetti vengono creati dai nostri ingegneri innovativi e successivamente valutati in pista utilizzando il CFD.
POWERTRAIN
Bosch ECU calibration, test bench set up, design and optimization of accessory components such as the tank, management and maintenance of the engine and transmission system. They work on the optimization and brake test and EBS, redesign optimization and test of the clutch, gearbox and steering, system integration with driving in dual mode.
TELAIO E STRUTTURA
Il reparto progetta la monoscocca e tutti gli elementi strutturali della vettura. Collabora con tutte le divisioni al fine di ottimizzare ogni componente e garantire la massima leggerezza, rispettando nel contempo gli standard di resistenza e rigidità.
ELECTRONICS & CONTROL
The focus is on CAD design, choice of components, professional wiring, documentation and compliance with the regulation, make the circuits and boards waterproof in collaboration with the Vehicl division. Matlab and Simulink modeling, dynamic vehicle models in collaboration with Vehicle, signal noise management, models for the control of electric actuators. Work on STM32.
We achieved victory in Autonomous Design and second place overall in the ADS class, in the Formula Student Imeche at Silverstone.
