MATLAB Create track map using Lateral acceleration & speed in Matlab

AI Thread Summary
Creating a track map using lateral acceleration and speed involves understanding the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration, typically through calculus. The curvature radius is a starting point, but further steps include integrating the lateral acceleration to determine velocity and position coordinates. Familiarity with calculus concepts is essential to effectively plot the track map. Additional mathematical techniques may be required to accurately represent the track's geometry. Mastering these concepts will facilitate the creation of the desired track map in Matlab.

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
