3-DOF Full Vehicle Simulink Model

This 3-degree-of-freedom full vehicle Simulink model enables comprehensive research in vehicle dynamics and related control systems. The model simulates vehicle behavior under various road conditions, including acceleration, deceleration, and cornering maneuvers. Through this implementation, researchers can analyze performance characteristics of suspension systems, steering mechanisms, and powertrain components while developing and testing control strategies. The model architecture incorporates key vehicle subsystems through Simulink blocks representing mass-spring-damper systems for vertical motion, rack-and-pinion mechanisms for steering, and torque transfer functions for powertrain dynamics. Parameter tuning and optimization capabilities allow for performance improvements in vehicle handling and stability. Implementation features include configurable MATLAB function blocks for custom control algorithms and vehicle parameter scripts for rapid configuration changes. This model provides significant application value in automotive engineering research and development, particularly for virtual prototyping and control system validation before physical testing. The modular design facilitates easy integration of additional subsystems or custom control logic through S-function implementations and subsystem masking techniques.
