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)

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
