Vehicle motion and driving scenarios

The Powertrain Blockset™ includes blocks for 1DOF and 3DOF vehicle motion. The driving scenario blocks allow you to specify a drive cycle and driver commands. Use the vehicle blocks in fuel economy studies and drive cycle analysis.

Topics

Install Drive Cycle Data

Install drive cycle data for the Drive Cycle Source block from a support package.

Track Drive Cycle Errors

Use the Drive Cycle Source blocks to identify drive cycle faults.

Featured Examples

Conventional Vehicle Reference Application

Conventional Vehicle Reference Application

Simulate a full vehicle model with an internal combustion engine, transmission, and associated powertrain control algorithms. Use for powertrain matching analysis and component selection, control and diagnostic algorithm design, and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
