Quick update: Got going with MATLAB today on the project. I'm having some trouble getting a grasp on getting variables from one set of differential equations to another. Its kinda cool seeing the boundary conditions being satisfied and being able to cap the velocity and such. Going up the first grade from a stand still needs between roughly 1400 newtons to 2400 newtons. 1400 to barely make it up to the top and 2400 to hit the speed limit at approach. Obviously 35 mph at the top of the hill which I'm about to go down is a little much so the first is more obvious. I'll have to use the new boundary conditions set forth by each force applied to set up the next set and see what it looks like at the stop sign. Wish me luck tomorrow!
