Sensors & Interfaces
Sensors
NISYS TrafficSimulation (TRS) provides a simulation of sensor data based on which software and hardware components can be tested.
- Video and radar sensors
- Freely definable perspective relative to the ego vehicle
- Multiple simultaneous views (e.g. frontal view, rear mirror view, bird's eye view)
- Camera parametrization
- Stereo-Cameras
- Depth data (ground truth data for testing stereo systems)
Interfaces
All sensor data, internal state information and ground truth data can be read and configured via a number of interfaces. This communication is network transparent and OS independent. A standard-compliant XML-RPC interface allows connection to a variety of scripting and programming languages such as Python, Lua, Matlab, Java, C++, etc.
Python
- Network transparent and operating system independent interface to Python via XML-RPC (local or remote clients)
- Full control and configuration of the simulator from Python
- Control of the ego vehicle and the surrounding vehicles
- Access to state variables and sensor data (speed, image data, etc.)
- Access in real time or stepwise
Matlab
- Network transparent interface to Matlab via Java
- Full control and configuration of the simulator
- Control of the ego vehicle and the surrounding vehicles
- Access to state variables and sensor data (speed, image data, etc.)
- Easy integration of new sensors (SensorPlugins)
- Access in real time or stepwise
CAN-Bus
- Full integration into existing CAN-Bus infrastructure
- Sending and receiving CAN-messages
- Event-based transmission of CAN-messages (e.g., ego-speed, lane changes, etc.)
- Reception of CAN messages and free configuration of the corresponding reaction
