traffic-sim

This is a simple traffic simulation module with a focus on performance and realism.

This is a personal project, with currently poor documentation and is not quite feature complete.

Goals

The goal of this package is to be capable of simulating any road network in a realistic manner, with reasonable performance. This includes simulating things such as:

• Car following
• Lane-changing decisions and dynamics
• Yielding at give way/stop signs
• Merging and diverging
• Simple path finding

The primary gap right now is the lack of a lane-changing. There are pieces in place, but it is in general a very hard problem to solve.

Hello world

This sample code demonstrates how to simulate a single vehicle on a straight, single-lane road.

use traffic_sim::{Simulation, LinkAttributes, VehicleAttributes};
use traffic_sim::math::{LineSegment2d, Point2d};

// Create a simulation
let mut simulation = Simulation::new();

// Add a link, which is a single lane of traffic
// This one is a straight line 100m long
let link_id = simulation.add_link(&LinkAttributes {
    curve: &LineSegment2d::from_ends(Point2d::new(0.0, 0.0), Point2d::new(100.0, 0.0)),
    speed_limit: 16.6667, // m/s (60km/h)
});

// Add a vehicle to the start of the link we just created
let veh_id = simulation.add_vehicle(&VehicleAttributes {
    width: 2.0, // m
    length: 5.0, // m
    wheel_base: 1.5, // m
    max_acc: 2.0, // m
    comf_dec: 2.0, // m
}, link_id);

// Simulate 10 frames, each advancing time by 0.1s.
// Each frame, print out the coordinates of our single vehicle
for _ in 0..10 {
    simulation.step(0.1);
    println!("Vehicle is at {:?}", simulation.get_vehicle(veh_id).position());
}
