There are several important properties of concave mirrors that dictate the images formed. The most important characteristics are the focal point, the focal length, the center of curvature and the radius of curvature. All these properties are shown on the following diagram. Diagram showing the import...
Lens maker formula is used to construct a lens with the specified focal length. A lens has two curved surfaces, but these are not exactly the same. If we know the refractive index and the radius of the curvature of both the surface, then we can determine the focal length of the lens b...
The Tire-Road Interaction (Magic Formula) block represents the longitudinal force Fx on the tire as a function of Fz, and k using the Magic Formula, where k is the independent slip variable and Fz is the input signal at port N. The block labeled Rolling Radius is the tire rolling radius...
Values for the observation, warning, and danger radius should vary continuously with velocity (using a spline). The remainder of this work is structured as follows: Section 2 describes the vehicle modelling, Section 3 the planning algorithms, and Section 4 the control strategies; the simulation re...
