An integrated simulation framework for cognitive automobiles

Abstract

Abstract-A cognitive automobile is a complex system. It is an indisputable fact that simulations are valuable tools for the development and testing of such complex systems. This paper presents an integrated closed-loop simulation framework which supports the development of a cognitive automobile. The framework aims at simulating complex traffic scenes in inner-city environments. The key features of the simulation are the generation of synthetic data for high level inference mechanisms, providing data for the analysis of car-to-car communication strategies and evaluation of cooperative vehicle behavior.

A comparison of motion planning algorithms for cooperative collision avoidance of multiple cognitive automobiles

“…The described algorithms have been applied to a multitude of problem instances derived from different scenarios such as cooperative obstacle avoidance, merging, overtaking, and intersection crossing. The scenarios have been created by means of a traffic simulator [33]. In the following, results on intersection and overtaking scenarios are reported.…”

Design and capabilities of the Munich Cognitive Automobile

“…It features all characteristic components with emphasis on robust situation assessment and safe behavior. The communication link between two vehicles is tested, cooperative behavior has been shown in simulation [31]. One of our next steps is to demonstrate cooperative perception and maneuvers in real-world.…”
