To configure vehicle scenarios, use the drive cycle, driver, and 3D simulation blocks.
Drive Cycle Source block — Generates a standard
or user-specified longitudinal drive cycle. By default, the
block includes the FTP–75
drive cycle. To
install additional drive cycles from a support package, see
Support Package For Maneuver and Drive Cycle Data. The support package has drive cycles that include gear shift
schedules, for example JC08
and
CUEDC
.
Driver blocks — Implement controllers that generate normalized steering, acceleration, and braking commands to track velocity or displacement.
3D visualization blocks — Integrate 3D visualization environment with Simulink® so that you can interrogate the world around the vehicle for virtually testing perception, control, and planning algorithms.
