Suspension Handling Model

Instructions to run the model are found in blue text.

To make the model useful and interesting for the user, the model has been created around the Koenigsegg Agera One:1 or Noble M12.

Suspension "bicycle" vehicle model with planar dynamics:

NOTE, the following simplifications are applied to the model:

1) The front and rear axle characteristics are applied so that a pair of tyres is represented as one

2) The vehicle is modelled as rigid, with no suspension vertical movement

Simple instructions to run the model:

1) Unzip all model files to the preferred folder

1) Start Matlab 2016b or later (NOTE: the files were made using 2016b)

2) Point the Matlab active folder to the location of the .slx .m and .mat files

3) Right click on the .m file and select "Run" - this loads the parameters used by the model and runs the simulation

5) Open the .m file to alter parameters that affect the simulation
