Box Truck

Box truck vehicle dimensions

Description

Box truck is one of the vehicles that you can use within the 3D simulation environment. This environment is rendered using the Unreal Engine^® from Epic Games^®. The following diagram provides the dimensions of this vehicle. The height dimensions are with respect to the vertical ground plane. The length and width dimensions are with respect to the origin of the vehicle in the vehicle coordinate system. The origin is on the ground, at the geometric center of the vehicle. For more detailed views of these diagrams, see the Dimensions section.

To add this type of vehicle to the 3D simulation environment:

1. Add a Simulation 3D Vehicle or Simulation 3D Vehicle with Ground Following block to your Simulink^® model.

2. In the block, set the Type parameter to Box truck.

Sensor Mounting Locations

In the 3D simulation sensor blocks, use the Mounting location parameter to mount sensors at predefined locations on the vehicle. The table shows the X, Y, and Z positions of the mounting locations relative to the vehicle origin. These locations are in the vehicle coordinate system, where:

• The X-axis points forward from the vehicle.

• The Y-axis points to the left of the vehicle, as viewed when facing forward.

• The Z-axis points up from the ground.
