This chapter provides information on dynamics modeling of vehicle and tire. The vehicle axis system used throughout the simulation is according to the SAE standard, as described in SAE J670e 18. According to a brief research study of typical vehicle models, a nonlinear three-degree-of-freedom vehicle model will be used in this research.
Overview
ME542 Vehicle Dynamics-Lecture 1- 1 ME542 Vehicle Dynamics Winter 2014 Tu & Th 1:30‐3:00pm Huei Peng 3012 PML Department of Mechanical Engineering hpeng@umich.edu, 1-734-769-6553 Office hours: Mon. 4-5pm (Peng), Wed. 1-2pm (Peng) GSI office hours to be announced ME542 Vehicle Dynamics-Lecture 1- 2 Vehicle Dynamics and Safety. This series of courses is the filtered and condensed summary of how to get to the fastest setup, the result of having spent 19 years on vehicle dynamics being a sim racer, setting up my own cars for track days at Spa, Zandvoort, Nurburgring, and working for the past 9 years in automotive chassis development (currently active suspension controls).
In this webinar you will learn the basics of the Vehicle Dynamics Blockset (VDBS) and delve into some of the example models. We will present how to use the Unreal Engine to visualize and compare results in an intuitive manner. After exploring the blocks included in the VDBS and the example models, you will learn how to customize these examples to easily optimize an anti-lock braking system for split road driving conditions and how to effectively show the results of the optimized controller. Lastly, we will explore some of the other ways to use VDBS to accelerate the pace of development within automotive and automated driving industries.
Highlights
- Introduction to Vehicle Dynamics Blockset (VDBS)
- Using Unreal Engine for visualizing and comparing results in a virtual 3D environment
- Customize included full vehicle simulation example for anti-lock braking controller optimization
- Highlight possible use-cases for VDBS, i.e. Chassis control and ADAS control algorithm testing/development

Jan Janse van Rensburg:
Before joining MathWorks Jan worked as a researcher in the fields of Active Magnetic Bearings (AMB) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) with a focus on physical systems modelling and empirical validation. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2014 from the North-West University in South Africa. The focus of his research was on the modelling of rotor delevitation events (RDEs) within AMB levitated systems. Jan was employed as a university lecturer and researcher at North-West University lecturing Mechanical Design and with a research focus on AMBs, AM, Solar Car Modelling and Physical systems modelling.
