Project Abstract:
In this project, we will build a city-scale scenario generation and simulation platform for ADS testing and evaluation. Under different routes and environmental conditions, the simulation platform can generate testing scenarios dynamically along the route to interact with the CAV and systematically evaluate its performance. Meanwhile, a set of corner cases regarding vulnerable road users (VRUs) will be identified and added to the generated scenario library. We will leverage and extend our existing work in scenario generation and integrate it with VISSIM, CARLA, and Autoware. The platform will also be integrated with the augmented reality testing environment to enable the testing of real CAVs.
