Vehicle Reference Applications

Ride and handling analysis, chassis controls development, ADAS and AD testing

Vehicle Dynamics Blockset™ provides fully assembled reference applications of vehicle models running driving maneuvers in a 3D environment that is integrated with Simulink^®. You can create your own versions of the reference applications, providing a framework to test that your vehicle meets the design requirements under normal and extreme driving conditions. Specifically, use the reference applications to:

Analyze ride and handling and develop chassis controls. To perform vehicle studies, including yaw stability, understeer and oversteer, and lateral acceleration limits, start with the maneuver reference applications.
Test advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) perception, planning, and control software, including active safety. To configure the 3D environment for ADAS/AD testing, start with the scene interrogation reference application.
