steering of the rear wheels does not significantly affect the results.
Figure 27: Measurement point for Lateral No-slip
Measuring from the RT, measure the distances to the non-steered axle position in each axis in the vehicle co-
ordinate frame. Select the direction from the dropdown lists and enter the distances.
The measurements are made to an accuracy of 10 cm. Selecting an accuracy better than 10 cm does not
improve results. Using an accuracy figure worse than 20 cm will increase the drift of the RT. Use the Accuracies
tab in the Advanced Tools section to specify measurement accuracies individually.
The Lateral No-slip feature also requires some knowledge of the road surface. Select one of the predefined
options from the dropdown list, Normal or Low friction (ice).
For the Vertical No-Slip, the system needs to know the position of the front axle. A position at road height, mid-
way between the wheels should be used, like for the rear axle.
Measure the distances again from the RT and enter them into the cells, selecting the appropriate directions
from the dropdown lists.
