Development of a motorway traffic simulator

SERVICE MERCATO CLIENT LEADING COMPANY IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR YEAR 2019

Brief

Design a simulation tool in Python for monitoring a stretch of motorway.

Project challenge

to implement a configurable software application that can identify, at any given moment, which vehicles are observed by a given monitoring device and which remain outside its field of view and are thus invisible.

Solution

NIER developed a simulation tool that displays results in graphical form and with data frames. The model takes a “snapshot” of the state of the monitored section at a given instant in time and outputs information on the visibility of vehicles for the various monitoring devices.

Execution phases

FASE 1

Implementation of the simulation scenario: characteristics of the monitored stretch, position of devices and vehicles on the road;

 

FASE 2

Implementation of the geometric model for the construction of shadow areas generated by individual vehicles;

FASE 3

Implementation of the calculation model for vehicle visibility in the monitored area;

 

FASE 4

Generation of data frames for storing output results and their graphical representation.

Achieved results

  • Using the tool developed by NIER, the client can define any simulation scenario and configure its properties. For a given scenario, the simulation identifies the vehicles observed/not observed in the individual device’s field of view.
