Simulating Longitudinal and Lateral Vehicle Dynamics

Veer shows how you can simulate longitudinal and lateral vehicle dynamics using Vehicle Dynamics Blockset™. He introduces vehicle blocks that are used for various applications and requirements. He covers how to build vehicle dynamics models using two scenarios: an autonomous vehicle that needs steering input and longitudinal velocity to calculate the motion, and, a race car that needs external forces to calculate the motion. Last, he analyzes the effect of dry and wet surfaces on the vehicle longitudinal, lateral, and yaw motion.
