Traffic Simulation

The goal of this project is to try to accurately simulate the behavior of traffic on highways and roadways

Currently working on: Intersections

Intersections decide the behavior of its related cars

Feature/Bug Todo

• Make lane changing smarter
• Add various types of intersections
• Add intersections as a part of a cars route
• Acceleration
• Lane changing
• Add speed limits for roads
• Decision making
  • Cars should know when to change lanes

Features in simulation

• Road splines
  • Roads are based off of spline shapes which can have any number of curves
  • Roads can have any number of lanes
  • Roads can be specified to be bidirectional
• Cars
  • Cars can be specified to have variable abilities: acceleration, braking, following distance, etc
  • Cars accelerate and decelerate to the appropriate speed in a situation
  • Cars change lanes when necessary for navigation or if obstacles in their way are too slow
• Routes
  • Cars can specify a route of roads and follow it
  • Direction of the rout is inferred from the way the roads in the route are positioned
• Intersections
  • Cars going into an intersection find the correct lane for their route
  • Intersections can control the start and end positions of splines and connecting them
  • Cars with an intersection in their route will behave differently depending on the specification of the intersection
  • Intersections control logic for when paths for cars are clear
