To use or develop simple-simulation, you must first clone the repository.

$ git clone [email protected]:fb-fi/simulation/simple-simulation/simple-simulation.git
$ cd simple-simulation

It is recommended to use uv for package management. If you do not want to use uv, please consult the Without uv section.

Install requirements with

$ uv sync

To run a script, use

$ uv run /path/to/script.py

or directly use the python interpreter from the .venv folder in e.g. VSCode.

To run the tests, install the dev requirements with

$ uv sync --dev

and run the tests

$ uv run pytest

Install the project editable

$ python -m pip install -e .

To run the tests, first install pytest

$ python -m pip install pytest

and run

$ pytest

💡 You should first complete the Installation.

Run some simulations

1. Open the file test/test_challenger_a.py and run it by clicking on the run arrow in the top right corner.

2. There should be some videos in the folder test/test_results/challenger_a/.

You can watch them directly in VSCode.

The simple_simulation module consists of the following submodules:

• simulation_manager/: Main module handling all other modules to run the main simulation loop.
• pilots/: Pilots for the simulation actors. A pilot takes high-level decisions for lateral and longitudinal control for exactly one simulation actor based on the current situation in the simulation. Each pilot must be a subclass of Pilot in pilots/pilot.py. The logic contained in highway_pilot.py is roughly based on that of the l3pilot-aeb-adf.
• simulation_core/: The lightweight simulation core using CommonRoad vehicle models.
