Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the design and construction of an innovative active gear-shift and clutch for racecars, applied to a Formula Student car, based on the use of DC gear-motors. Racecars require extremely quick gear-shifts and every system to be as light as possible. The proposed solution is designed to reduce energy consumption, weight and improve gear-shift precision compared to traditionally employed electro-hydraulic solutions, although maintaining state of the art performances. The proposed gear motor actuation satisfies all the above objectives: energy can be saved by removing the need for power when clutch is not pulled, thus improving efficiency; by substituting the entire electro-hydraulic-systems, that accounts for approx. 5% of the overall car weight (10kg); a significant weight reduction is achieved (weight is reduced to 2kg); a fine actuation force modulation, in order to properly shift to neutral, can easily obtained with an DC electric motor; and, above all, shifting time is less than 20ms. System modeling, regulator design, based on PI-control, and simulation were carried out. Electronics, both signal and power, micro-controller based design and program coding, written in C language, were the next steps. Finally, accurate tests to validate the solution and assess performances were carried out.
