Adaption of double lane change example from Vehicle dynamics Blockset to include rear wheel steering

I am trying to adapt the double lane change example to include the effects of rear wheel steering.

To begin with I am trying to gain a basic understanding by taking the angles of the front left and right wheels, passing them through a gain block and connecting this to the pre-made RearWheelAngles Vector Concatenate.

The result I see is that the wheels visably steer but have no effect on the physics. I tested this by unlinking the front wheel connects and saw the rear wheels steer but has no effect on the direction of the vehicle even with extreme steering angles.

I am wondering If there is more that needs to be adapted than just the RearWheelAngles block and if so pointers to where to learn or what to look for would be appriciated.

Hi Samuel,

As per my understanding you are trying to adapt double lane change example from Vehicle Dynamics Blockset to include rear wheel steering. I suggest you to go through Lane Chane Reference Generator, Controllers and Passenger Vehicle Sections in the following documentation:

Hope this helps!
