Car 431 – 2019
2019
Car #431
Info
TUfast Racing Team from the TU Munich consists of 80 team members who design and build two race cars this season as a single team (electric + driverless). One Team – Two cars – TUfast. We believe our state-of-the-art planning & control, the fast and light 2017 electric car we use as the platform, the self developed perception algorithms and our agile actuation systems will contribute to our success in this season. Feel free to pay us a visit in our pit!

Car 431 – 2017
2017
Car #431
Info
The TUfast Racing Team from TU Munich consists of 80 team members who design and build three race cars. One Team - Three Cars - TUfast. One of our main goals in designing the db017 - our self developed perception system is especially tailored to a Formula Student track. To achieve these goals, we implemented an array of sensors used for autonomous driving, tested and simulated our planning algorithms, and updated the ECU with latest TUfast software. Feel free to come to our pit and talk to us!

DV System Highlights The highlight of our DV system is our perception system specifically tailored for a Formula Student track, which was tested extensively in a self developed simulation environment. Furthermore, the DV system is based on a low energy and lightwight Hardware(hw) design. This easens integration into the car and helps finding the most suitable hw setup.
