MATLAB Program for Rear Vehicle Tracking

Resource Overview

A MATLAB simulation program for vehicle following scenarios where the leading vehicle maintains constant speed, accelerates, and performs turning maneuvers while the rear vehicle tracks its movement using algorithmic control strategies.

Detailed Documentation

A vehicle leads the movement while another follows behind, with the leading vehicle maintaining constant velocity, executing acceleration maneuvers, and performing turning operations. The following vehicle tracks the leading vehicle's trajectory using a MATLAB-based program that implements motion tracking algorithms. The simulation demonstrates various vehicle dynamics scenarios where the rear vehicle employs control logic to maintain safe following distance while adapting to the leader's changing speed and direction. The program utilizes kinematic equations, position tracking functions, and velocity control algorithms to simulate realistic vehicle following behavior under different motion conditions.
