Abstract-Often, when testing the controls of autonomous vehicles, physical sensors are too expensive to purchase and integrate into the system. This paper proposes a system for the virtualization of sensors used to evaluate Cyber-Physical Systems.It has been developed to extend the testbed capabilities of The Ohio State University Control and Intelligent Transportation Research Laboratory. The primary focus is on providing virtual sensor information to physical robotic vehicles without the cost of purchasing and integrating physical sensors. Several sensors have been implemented using this system, and two test scenarios are described to show usefulness of this system in cyber-physical systems in general and intelligent transportation systems in particular.
Mr. Wensing received his B.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio Sate University in 2009. Since 2009, he has been working toward a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State. Mr. Wensing currently teaches and develops content for the laboratory portion of the Fundamentals for Engineering for Honors (FEH) program and is actively involved in humanoid locomotion research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
