Hi I was wondering if someone could help with creating a track map using lateral accel and speed.

More specifically the steps to the maths needed to plot the coordinates.

I know how to find the curvature radius but not sure what the next step is.

Thanks

Long time no see! :smile:

Are you familiar with calculus? And the relationship between position, velocity and acceleration? That's the approach that is usually used in this type of mapping...
 
No I am not. I'm looking for some maths to help me understand
