This example models a tractor with configurable four wheel steering that can drive on flat and uneven terrain. You can test transmission designs, steering algorithms, and evaluate operator comfort.
- Develop operator assist algorithms within Simulink
- Evaluate powertrain architectures with CVT models, including power split designs.
- Improve operator comfort by tuning chassis and cabin suspension designs.
- Test on uneven terrain by importing scanned data and using the Simscape Multibody Tire Model
- Create virtual test tracks by defining terrains in MATLAB
