    Concept Steering
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the equations related to vehicle steering control. The user seeks clarification on the meaning of the constant 'T' in the equation phi = T * st, questioning whether it represents a time constant. Additionally, the user is confused about the equation str. = 30 * (V/R), which relates the steering rate to the vehicle's forward velocity and radius of curvature. The equations presented also involve calculating the new vehicle angle and the new position of the rear axle midpoint based on the center of curvature. Overall, the user is looking for a clearer understanding of how these equations interconnect to determine vehicle steering dynamics.

Hi,
I am new to control system and coding.my problem is suppose we have a steering value and know we need to turn the vehile. I facing difficulty in understanding some equations.

Code:
       phi=T*st. %here st. is steering value and 'T' is some constant , 
but I am facing difficulty to understand what it is? whether it is time constant or something else.
           % radius of curvature (ICC)
            R=L/tan(phi);
            str.=30*(V/R);% cann't understand what the use of this equation. here 'v' is some constant.
            theta new=theta+str.; %theta is vehicle angle.
            %centre of curvature(ICC)
            A=X-R*sin(theta);
            B=Y+R*cos(theta);
            %new position of rear axle mid point
            X=A+R*sin(theta new);
            Y=B-R*cos(theta new);

please help me in understanding the concept of this equation.
How can we get an angle from R (ICC) and V (velocity)

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
