2) In a Formula Student Racecar, there is an LVS battery box that contains a configuration of 7s4p. Each cell has a voltage of 3.7 volts and a capacity of 0.2 Ah. Given that the complete LVS consumes a constant power of 5 watts, for how many hours can the LVS operate before the batteries need to be charged? Choose the correct answer below, rounded to 1 decimal point.
3.8 hours
7.3 hours
4.1 hours
2.9 hours
3) Choose the correct answer from below:
Four members of the team plus the driver may enter the dynamic area at one time.
During the competition, it is allowed to test your vehicle in an empty field not in the competition site when the testing track is currently full.
You are allowed to monitor a driverless vehicle during any event.
Every member of the team that is in the dynamic area must wear the dynamic vest at all times.
4) An AC current source is connected to a heating element (resistor). However, it is measured that the power cables have an inductance of 0.01H. Choose the capacity of the capacitor to be connected in series in order to maximize power transfer to the heating element. The AC power source operates at a frequency of 5/π Hz.
1F
0.01 F
1 uF
0.01 uF
5) Choose the correct answer from below:
A Lidar mounted on top of the front bulkhead can protrude from the surface envelope.
A red indicator light in the cockpit that is easily visible even in bright sunlight and clearly marked with the lettering “EBS” must light up If the EBS detects a failure.
The response value of the IMD must be set to >= 250 Ω/V, related to the maximum TS voltage.
The TSMP current limiting resistor for a 365V maximum TS voltage is 15 kΩ.
6) Which of the following did happen in January 28?
JFK was assassinated.
The Apollo 14 mission was launched.
Greece adopted the euro as a national currency.
Hong Kong announced that it will kill 20000 chickens to stop the spread of H7N9 bird flu.
7) Your computer vision pipeline works great but includes a single bug. At times, it detects 2 cone bounding boxes where only one cone is placed. You have written the following function to correct this error when it happens by taking the average of x and y coordinates of the two cones. You run your code in a frame that includes n cones and it runs for t seconds. In another frame, 3n cones are detected, and the code runs in k * t seconds. Calculate k (approximately). Another member of your team comes and says he can write this function to be more computationaly efficient. If that is possible in theory, calculate the new theoretical lowest k’ value for a frame with 3n cones. Choose the correct pair of answers k k’. Assume that n is suffiencly large so that n and a * n do not differ (where a is a constant).

8) Choose the correct answer from below:
In the Manual driving mission the EBS must be armed.
A steel plate in the front wishbone of a rear only driven car must have a resistance bellow 5 Ω to LVS ground.
In a PCB that contains both TS and LVS parts, with a TS voltage of 287 volts, the minimal cut width to be made in the PCB in order to be rules compliant is 6.4mm.
Manual steering should not be possible with mission selected and ASMS on.
9) Choose the correct answer from below:
The IA assembly can be attached to the AIP by four 8mm metric grade 8.8 bolts.
The minimum overlap when using multiple panels to form the firewall is 10mm.
In an EV, the quick jack must have attached to it two pairs of high voltage insulating gloves and a multimeter with two 4mm banana plug test leads rated for 1000V CAT III or better.
You are not allowed to place video/photographic cameras on a formula student vehicle.
10) Choose the correct answer from below:
The RES can close the SDC after it has been opened mid-run without additional action on the vehicle.
A Driverless Vehicle must be capable of producing 2 different sounds.
He vehicle can directly transition from the AS Finished state to the AS ready state for the next run.
Any signal of the AS is not a SCS.
11) Choose the correct answer from below:
In the SDC, the LVMS comes after the TSMS.
Required measuring points are “TS+”, “TS-” where “TS+” and “TS-” indicate tractive system measuring points.
The temperature rating for TS wiring can be at least 90 degrees Celcius.
The driver can reset an open SDC that was opened by the IMD.
12) The camera on a FS Driverless Vehicle outputs an image of 2048x2048 pixels. This image gets downscaled by a factor of 4 and then passes through 2 convolutional layers in series, with 3x3 convolution filters each. Calculate the size of the output feature map axb. Choose the answer in the format a b, assume no padding in convolutional layers:
514 514
512 512
510 510
508 508
13) Choose the correct answer from below:
The EBS test can be conducted before the rain test.
During the brake test, the TS is switched off before the vehicle stops moving.
After any dynamic event, if the officials wish to check the vehicle’s compliance with rules, the vehicle does not have to be able to enter ready-to-drive mode in order for the team to remain in the competition.
In the rain test the vehicle must be in ready-to-drive mode.
14) A completely rectangular EV Formula student vehicle has given volume V = 2.35 m3, length l = 2.35m, height h = 800mm. It is set to do a test acceleration run in a sufficiently large straight line. The Tractive System provides the vehicle with a constant acceleration force FTS = 2400N. Given that air density is ϝ = 1.225 kg/m3, the drag coefficient of the vehicle is CD = 25.07, and ignoring rolling resistance, choose the vehicle’s final speed in km/h, rounded to the closest integer.
45 km/h
55 km/h
40 km/h
26 km/h
15) A team wants to register for the FS East competition 2022. However, due to COVID-19, your deadlines have not been met concerning the documents you have to upload in order to register for the competition. Your ASF was submitted 3 days and 4 hours after the competition deadline. Afterwards, the officials requested a correction for it, the team uploaded the correct document 8 days and 12 hours after the request. Furthermore, the VSV was submitted 5 days and 8 hours after the competition deadline. Choose the total penalty points for the team due to delayed submissions.
