Create A Simulation Of F1 Tires Taking Into Account Tire Degradation: Numerical Optimization Assignment, UCD, Ireland

In this assignment you will be tasked with doing four things:

• Create a simulation of F1 tires taking into account tire degradation on each lap (we will refer to tyre degradation from here on in as deg for short) that takes into account the fuel onboard the car and how hard the car
works the types

• A mapping onto the semiannual library that will use Simulated Annealing algorithm to determine the best strategy

• A mapping onto the deep library that will use genetic evolution to determine the best strategy

• Using both mappings to determine the best strategy in a number of situations for three cars at a time

In terms of effort, the vast majority of your time will be spent on the first part of creating the simulation. The mappings to both libraries will not take long, and the experimentation to find the best strategy will be fairly quick.

It is recommended that when you have completed your simulations that you test them with the test cases and graphs given below. You should print out graphs of your own for comparison as it is much easier to verify this visually
than to pour over a set of numbers and figure out the general pattern that way. Remember if you produce a bad simulation your results from numerical optimisation cannot be trusted.
