Hi Stephan, good question.
Indeed the road is not a set of straight line segments so it would make sense to do as you suggested.. I imagine this may be a necessary part of the solution as it would make sense the solution would require you to integrate the equation of the road somehow..
Thanks...
Hello!
I'm trying to model a car slowing down from speed with the forces of drag and friction and gravity from the road slope..
The model, which models the resistive forces is as follows..
[ Ffriction + Fdrag + Fslope ] / m = -a (deceleration)
where:
Friction force
Ffriction = A...
