qSolarSim is a simulating and data visualization tool utilized by the Queen's University Solar Vehicle Team to simulate a solar vehicle's performance, including battery, speed, and power, on a given road segment during the 2005 American Solar Challenge.
The main objective of the qSolarSim is to provide a platform for users to visualize how such variables evolve over time, as the solar car travels along a certain route. This data visualization tool ensures that users can easily understand and analyze the data produced, while also providing an immersive experience through which users can tweak a variety of parameters to simulate different scenarios.
One of the key advantages of the qSolarSim is the level of control that users have over the simulation process. The software provides multiple parameters that can be optimized and tweaked to manipulate the simulated car's performance. Data can be represented through a variety of graphs or charts, and users can choose whether to view the data in real-time or adjust the simulation speed manually.
In addition, qSolarSim is an easy-to-use software that can be quickly installed and requires minimal training for new users. Its user-friendly interface allows users to quickly access all necessary settings and customize the simulator according to their needs.
Overall, the qSolarSim proved to be a useful and effective tool for the Queen's University Solar Vehicle Team, enabling them to accurately simulate and visualize the solar car's performance over a given stretch of road during the 2005 American Solar Challenge.
