Abstract:
The interest in using scaled models for dynamics testing
of prototype vehicles is growing due to the high demand for
autonomous driving. In the early design phases, vehicle testing
is done using computer simulations. Even though computer
simulations are proven to be extremely helpful in designing
prototypes, simulation models need to be validated using realworld
testing. There are high costs involved in vehicle testing
and it’s dangerous to conduct aggressive driving manoeuvres
with real drivers.
