Overview
In this live session, you will learn how MATLAB and Simulink can be used to develop All-Terrain Vehicles. Akshat Kasana from Team Kshatriya, VIT, Vellore will demonstrate a Four-Wheel Drive all-terrain vehicle model using Simscape. Further, he will talk about the model the team developed for the iteration of Ackerman steering. Finally, you will learn how to model an electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). You can use this model as a reference for optimizing ATV parameters, performing brake tests, running the ATV on uneven surfaces, and calculating the state of charge of the battery.
Highlights
- Modeling a four-wheel drive powertrain
- Iterating Ackerman steering
- Simulating electric all-terrain vehicle
- Estimating vehicle parameters
