Desarrollo de una aplicación de registro de configuraciones para mejora del rendimiento del karting del grupo Asu MotorSport UIO de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The project titled "Development of a Configuration Recording System for Performance Improvement in Karting for the ASU Automotive Group of the Salesian Polytechnic University" focuses on optimizing the performance of competition karts through the implementation of a digital tool for recording and analyzing configurations of the chassis, brake system, and steering. Karting, a MotorSport discipline, heavily relies on precise component configurations to achieve optimal on-track performance. Currently, the ASU Automotive group makes manual adjustments to the karts, which increases the risk of human error and limits the ability to systematically evaluate the impact of different setups. The main problem lies in the lack of an efficient system to record and analyze these configurations. This not only affects the ability to make informed decisions but also makes it difficult to assess performance over time, which is essential for improvement in competitions. The proposed solution is a system based on Google Sheets that allows for the recording, analysis, and optimization of key technical configurations, such as weight distribution, suspension settings, alignment, and brakes. This system will integrate charts and formulas to facilitate performance analysis and generate recommendations based on historical test and race data. The project aims to improve karting performance through a systematic approach to data collection and analysis. It is expected that the implementation of this digitalized system will enable better decision-making and real-time optimization during competitions. Moreover, the development of this tool will not only benefit the ASU Automotive group but will also be of interest to automotive engineers, industrial designers, and karting component manufacturers. By providing a comprehensive solution for configuration management, this project seeks to enhance the competitiveness of the group and contribute to the technical and technological advancement of the discipline.
