  This paper gives a thorough overview of Solar Car Optimized Route Estimation
(SCORE), novel route optimization scheme for solar vehicles based on solar
irradiance and target distance. In order to conduct the optimization, both data
collection and the optimization algorithm itself have to be performed using
appropriate hardware. Here we give an insight to both stages, hardware and
software used and present some results of the SCORE system together with
certain improvements of its fusion and optimization criteria. Results and the
limited applicability of SCORE are discussed together with an overview of
future research plans and comparison with state-of-the-art solar vehicle
optimization solutions.
