The system represents a simple model of a vehicle moving along a road.
The vehicle
\begin{itemize}
\item has mass $m$
\item is driven by a force $u=F$
\item has velocity $v$
\item has momentum $p=mv$
\item has a distance along the road $y=d$
\item The system states are taken to be:
\begin{equation}
x =
\begin{pmatrix}
p \\ d
\end{pmatrix}
\end{equation}\end{itemize}
