Abstract :
In this paper we introduce a visualization application for a vehicle simulation with an automatic pilot. The application is written in OpenGL and includes a model of a vehicle (a motorcycle) based on the physical laws of motion, including kinematics, gravitation, and friction. The vehicle can be controlled by the user through keyboard and mouse commands, as well as by an automatic pilot. The latter is implemented as a multi-agent probabilistic scheme using perceptual data. Our intention is to simulate the behavior of a human driver on the road. The performance of the automatic pilot is compared with that of a human player.
