Simulation

AutoCore simulation tool provides test environment for Autoware and still during early development, contents below may changed during updates.

GitHub license

Overview

AutoCore simulation tool is developed based on Unity engine, which focuses help developer test Autoware functions. It could simulate multi type of input topics, so that the autonomous driving system could be tested.

How to config autoware.ai 1.14 with simulator

Start Simulator

  1. Config Autoware ROS environment, launch Autoware runtime manager and rviz.

  2. On windows PC download the simulator archive file, and extract it to a customized destination.

  3. Double click Simulator.exe to run the simulator, enable all windows firewall dialogs.

  4. Configure the ROS Master URI and ROS IP, and choose the driving scenario, then click launch.

  5. Simulator will enter driving scenario and rviz will show maps.

  6. Start voxel_grid_filter and ndt_matching for localization

  7. Enable vel_pose_connect without Simulation Mode, lidar points will display.

  8. Launch op_global_planner, drag a available goal in rviz.

  9. Launch op_local_plannerpure_pursuittwist_filter, Simulator will start driving.

Simulator Instruction

There are some buttons on the top of the main interfaces:

  1. Car Reset
    Click to reset the ego car location to the default starting point.

  2. Car Pose Set
    Click to pick a location for ego car, then move the mouse to set the orientation.

  3. Add Static Obstacle
    Click to drop a obstacle at target place.

  4. Add Human
    Click to add a pedestrian at the target place, multiple pedestrians could be added via multiple clicks. Right click to finish.

  5. Add CarAI
    Click to add a AI car at the target place, then click to add the destination for the AI car. AI car will run in the map according to the destination and follow traffic rules autonomously.

  6. Remove All Obstacle
    Click to remove all obstacles.

  7. Settings
    Click to open setting panel.

  8. Exit Simu
    To exit simulator and go back to the launch panel.
