Possibilities to evaluate the vehicle’s accelerations through MATLAB Simulink simulations

Abstract

This scientific present paper explores the methods for assessing the longitudinal and lateral accelerations of a vehicle through the combination of experimental validation and MATLAB Simulink simulations. Comprehending these accelerations is essential for a number of uses, such as stability, overall performance analysis, and vehicle safety. The first step of the study is building a detailed Simulink model of the car. With an emphasis on lateral and longitudinal accelerations, this model makes it easier to simulate a range of driving scenarios and explore how a vehicle handles and behaves under different circumstances. A key element of the study is the experimental validation of the Matlab Simulink model, which involves gathering real-world data from vehicle testing and contrasting it with simulated outcomes. Simulink model iterative refinement is made possible by the integration of simulation and experimentation, which ultimately improves the model’s predictive accuracy. The study’s conclusions demonstrate the integrated approach’s potential to advance vehicle dynamics analysis and make cars safer and more effective. Furthermore, it offers insights into the optimization of vehicle designs and the development of innovative control strategies to enhance overall road safety and vehicle performance.
