This commit updates the drive dynamics to consistently account for the rear axle ratio in the bicycle model.

Summary:

  • Updates jerk-model position and velocity integration so motion follows heading + beta.
  • Slightly tightens random training spawn width from 3.0m to 2.7m to match truck size and make the off-road performances similar to slipless models.

Awesome. Can you say more about what the goal of this PR is?

The goal of this PR is to account for the side slip angle in the bicycle model.
The point of reference (sim_x,sim_y) of our agents is the center of the bbox. So our current bicycle model make the vehicle rotate around the center of the bbox which is not "coherent" for a real vehicle.
The goal of the PR is to have a more "realistic" bicycle model.
This can be useful to get the difference of equations depending of the reference point https://dingyan89.medium.com/simple-understanding-of-kinematic-bicycle-model-81cac6420357
