-===== Objective ===== +===== Overview ===== 
-This prize recognizes the conceptual design of how to use vehicle data real-time, or close to real-time, to improve the Team’s result in the Mileage Challenge. The award is open to both Prototype and Urban Concept Teams. The referenced vehicle data can be from the existing Shell telemetry system for Urban Concept vehicles (as described in Section 5).  Additional data points that are not currently available through the Shell telemetry system may also be considered. Answers to the following questions will be used in judging the submissions.+This prize recognises the conceptual or actual design of intelligent information and knowledge processes from real-time or close to real-time vehicle and race data. This will lead to a competition that:  
 +  * follows a data-driven and digitised approach, 
 +  * innovates your race strategy and driving tactics, and 
 +  * improves your track performance with higher energy efficiency in the Mileage Challenge and an advantageous speed in the Regional and World Championships.
  
-  * What data will you use from the existing telemetry system or what data would you need that isn’t already available? +To be eligible for the Data and Telemetry Award, the winning Team must have at least one valid competition attempt, i.e. the Team must have a result on the score board.
-  * How will your Team use the data? That is, what will you do with it, point analysis, simulation, etc.? +
-  * What data is communicated between the Team and driver, and how?  What method of receiving the data by the driver will be used?  Display, phone, radio, etc. +
-  * What will the driver do with the data? +
-  * What is the expected outcome from the use of the data?  How much of an improvement do you expect and why?+
  
-===== Overview ===== +The award is open to both Prototype and Urban Concept Teams. The referenced vehicle data can be from the existing Shell telemetry system (as described in Section 5), from a Team’s existing telemetry system or data from a fully conceptual telemetry system. Answers to the following five questions will be used in judging the submissions: 
-Teams must answer the questions listed in Article 102:a) and explain how expected outcomes relate to the Shell Eco-marathon competition. Submissions that provide in-depth information on a specific use-case are preferred over those that give a general overview of preferred data points.+ 
 +**1. Telemetry Data Points:** 
 +How does your data strategy look like and what telemetry approach, vehicle sensor data (e.g. vehicle speed, energy usage) and context data (e.g. track map) do you identify as relevant to support the above three goals? 
 + 
 +**2. Information Processes:** 
 +WWhat race related patterns, coefficients and control parameters do you extract from the data (1) and which information/knowledge processing (analysis, modelling, simulation, machine learning) do you use to achieve the appropriate control strategy that keeps the vehicle close to the optimum in the context of the given driving situation and subject to the abovementioned contest goals? 
 + 
 +**3. Strategy Development:** 
 +What is your overall race strategy and how do you use the understanding, knowledge and insights from (2) to make it data-driven, smart, adaptive and competitive? 
 + 
 +**4. Driver’s Performance:** 
 +Which clues and/or previews will emerge from (3) and how to they support the driver’s decision making, intelligent manoeuvres, specific driving situations and/or edge cases while he/she is on track? 
 + 
 +**5. Results Improvement:** 
 +Does your data-driven approach (1 - 4) leads to best possible on-track performance with a balanced minimal energy consumption and competitive speed? What will be the outcome, how much of an improvement in [%] do you expect and why? Please provide supporting analysis. 
 + 
 +===== Objective ===== 
 +Teams must answer the five listed questions and explain how expected outcomes relate to an improvement of their energy efficiency, track and Team performance and benefit Shell Eco-marathon. Participants are encouraged to think outside the box and pursue also unconventional and disruptive ideas.
  
 ===== How to participate ===== ===== How to participate =====
-Application for this award is voluntary.  Teams wishing to participate must submit design documentation in a PDF format.  Design documentation should consist of a summary, design basis, any analysis, communication strategy, and other words clearly describing the Team’s approach. The design documentation must not exceed 1,500 words. Graphs and tables are not included in the word count.+Teams wishing to participate must submit design documentation in pdf format consisting of an executive summary and a technical description covering items 1-5. The documentation must use a minimum font size of 10 points with a maximum of 10 pages.
  
-===== Webcast ===== +===== Webinar ===== 
-Two webcasts were held to to familiarise you with the Data & Telemetry Off-track award, share how to make the most of the data collected from your vehicle and how to use that information to your advantage during the on-track competitions.+One webinar was held in 2021 and another one in 2022 to familiarise you with the Data & Telemetry Off-track award, share how to make the most of the data collected from your vehicle and how to use that information to your advantage during the on-track competitions.
  
-Recordings from both sessions are now available on youtube. The presentation content is the same but there were different questions asked - we encourage you to listen to both sessions' questions.+Both recordings are available on youtube:
