Milliken Research Associates has developed a new simulation tool, named Vehicle Dynamics Simulation-Matlab/Simulink (VD-M/S). Produced for the government's Variable Dynamic Testbed Vehicle (VDTV), VD-M/S is an 18 degree-of-freedom simulation programmed in the Matlab/Simulink environment. It contains a detailed non-linear tire model, kinematic and compliance effects, aerodynamic loadings, etc. as do MRA's other simulation programs. Unique to VD-M/S is its development from Day One as a simulation catered to the inclusion and exploration of active systems within the vehicle.
