Racing teams have been making use of unique database designs for a number of years to improve their speed, performance and accuracy.
Some programs are used to reduce the amount of time that it takes to get the design from the drawing board to the race track. Others are used to calculate the fastest potential lap time of a specific vehicle and ensure that the care is properly tuned. Formula One telemetry software, for example, is used for those and other purposes.
The electronic systems are able to collect and interpret a vast amount of data from each race. Some of the data collected includes information about the temperature of the tires and the engine, the speed of the wheels and the performance or displacement of the suspension.
Teams often make acceleration speeds the focus of their database, but, as you can see, there are many other things to consider. If your business is racing, you need to consider every aspect of the business, from design to production. Reliability of the cars and the safety of your drivers should major considerations, as well.
Formula One telemetry software allowed teams to change engine mapping and deactivate specific sensors from the pits, while the cars were on the track. The technology was referred to as “two way” telemetry and was banned by the FIA in 2003, but the technology still exists and may find its way back onto the racetrack. If you own a team, it’s a good idea to keep your database updated in anticipation that the technology will eventually be used again.
The right programs can help you evaluate how talented your drivers actually are. If your drivers cannot make the potential lap times that the engineers say are possible, then you may need a new team.
The ultimate goal is to win, because that’s where your profits come from. By using available electronics to evaluate the reliability of your vehicles, you can avoid expensive accidents and further increase your profits.
Formula One telemetry software of the “two-way” type developed out of the older TAG technology, which was used in the early nineties. Then, as it is today, the main element that made everything work was the accuracy of the data collected during the testing and the races.
So, basically, it is the accuracy of your database that is most important. If you aren’t taking advantage of the latest technology, you aren’t winning as many races as other teams that are.
