American Solar Challenge
American Solar Challenge is a competition for student teams to design, build, and drive solar-powered cars that race on a 1200- to 1500-mile course through multiple cities across the United States. Applying Model-Based Design with MATLAB and Simulink products for mathematical modeling, control systems, and physical modeling enables teams to efficiently build and strategically race their cars.
