Decibels Lab

Course Overview 

Holding the foot steady on the accelerator for hours on end is uncomfortable and can lead to your speed creeping up without you realizing. Cruise Control takes over the accelerator to maintain a steady speed and stop your leg muscles from cramping. But, building such as a system in consideration to all the inputs, system control, variables such as curvature, rough or loose terrain, rainy or wet weather,  traffic conditions can be highly challenging to study to avoid the risk of an accident. 

During this course, we will understand the complete system, functioning, logic, mathematics behind the system modeling, equations to create the Model-Based Design, build the model in simulation software, analyze & tune the system to get the desirable results. 100% hands-on to build the numerical model using the Scilab-Xcos.
