chrono::vehicle::ChSpeedController Class Reference

Description

Data collection from the speed controller can be started (restarted) and suspended (stopped) as many times as desired.

Data collected so far can be written to a file. The tab-separated output ASCII file contains on each line the time, current desired speed, and current actual speed.

◆ ChSpeedController()

 chrono::vehicle::ChSpeedController::ChSpeedController ( )

Construct a speed controller with default parameters.

Default values are all gains set to zero (no controller). The user is responsible for calling SetGains.

Member Function Documentation

 double chrono::vehicle::ChSpeedController::Advance ( const ChVehicle & vehicle, double target_speed, double step )

Advance the state of the PID controller.

This function performs the required integration for the integral component of the PID controller and returns the calculated controller value.
