Development of Electronic System for Data Acquisition of FSAE Vehicle

This paper presents an electronic approach to design and manufacture a system for acquiring data of a fully functional FSAE type car. The proposed model involves integration of various sensors, placed strategically to acquire powertrain and Vehicle Dynamic related parameters. The development process of this system involves selection of sensors and peripherals, design of PCB for the centralized acquisition and data logging system. The designed electronic system is tested for 115km of actual vehicle run for various motorsports track sectors, demonstrating efficient system in acquiring data and logging it with minimum communication delay. Notably, the system exhibited exceptional accuracy, with minimal error percentages, ensuring the precise capture of dynamic changes. The results underscore the system's potential to streamline driver selection processes through automated data acquisition while providing an efficient approach to test and analyze a comprehensive range of acquired parameters. These outcomes signify a significant advancement in FSAE car data acquisition technology.
