Remote Control Racecar using Simulink® and Texas Instruments C2000

Remote control racecar programmed using Simulink, integrating vehicle dynamics controllers and CAN

This submission contains Simulink® models developed for a Texas Instruments C2000 based remote control racecar platform that provides a great introduction to Simulink hardware programming. The models demonstrate the usage of closed-loop traction control and open-loop torque vectoring algorithms to control the vehicle’s dynamics as well as CAN communication to transmit sensor data and receive commands and controller parameters. The demonstration also features a Simulink host application that uses Vehicle Network Toolbox™ hardware support to interact with the vehicle in real-time through the CAN network. Additional details on how the hardware was integrated for this demonstration can be found in the submissions pdf file.
