The software has been developed with MATLAB R2007b, but also works with newer MATLAB versions. A MATLAB installation including Simulink is needed to use the models, but no additional toolboxes are required.

The models provided consist of:

TreadSim

TreadSim is the brush tire model as discussed in Section 3.3 of this book. It is capable of returning the steady state force and moment characteristics for various slip conditions, including turn slip. Only a limited number of physical parameters are needed to obtain these results.
