pst-vehicle: creating vehicles for physical animations

This package was created to illustrate the notion of slope, the coefficient of the tangent line at a point of a curve. On the road, a rampant way or a dangerous descent due to their slope is indicated by a sign showing the percentage of the slope of this section of road, for example 10%.

It was therefore quite obvious that the idea of representing a vehicle rolling without slipping on a curve came into our minds. Different types of vehicles are proposed, the shape of the curve is to be defined by its equation: $y=f(x)$ in algebraic notation.

Save the files pst-vehicle.sty|data|tex in a directory, which is part of your local TeX tree. The pro file should go into $TEXMF/dvips/pstricks/ Then do not forget to run texhash to update this tree.

pst-vehicle needs pstricks, which should be part of your local TeX installation, otherwise get it from a CTAN server, https://mirror.ctan.org

PSTricks is PostScript Tricks, the documentation cannot be run with pdftex, use the sequence latex->dvips->ps2pdf or pdflatex with package auto-pst-pdf or xelatex or (best) lualatex
