Abstract
The aim of this work is to design and develop a complete setup for experimenting non-dimensional vehicle dynamics and validations over various control strategies and manoeuvres for road cars. The target setup consists of an RC (Radio-Control) vehicle equipped with sensors capable of measuring real-time vehicle responses such as accelerations and yaw rate, and also applying autonomous steer-by-wire commands to the vehicle. Hardware network is built upon Arduino platform including an IMU sensor, Arduino microcontroller, and Wi-Fi modules. The key idea to design the experiment setup is derived from the dynamic similarity relationships between a real system (the prototype) and a scaled version (the model) using the science of dimensional analysis.
The setup connects the dynamic responses of scaled vehicles to a 1:1 vehicle with a mathematical theorem called Buckingham Pi-theorem
