HSE Scientists Develop Simulation Environment for Connected and Automated Vehicles
A team of researchers and students led by Vitaly Stepanyants, Lecturer at the School of Computer Engineering of HSE MIEM, has developed a solution implemented at the Laboratory of Computer-Aided Design Systems of HSE MIEM, headed by Alexandr Romanov and Alexandr Amerikanov. For the first time worldwide, this system enables detailed simultaneous modelling of both environmental perception by automated vehicles and the propagation of connected transport signals. To date, there are no open-source programs comparable to the proposed environment.
