Abstract: |
Pedestrian
simulation is often forgotten or implemented poorly in most high profile
traffic simulators. This is the case of SUMO, where the pedestrian models are
very simple and not based in real human behaviour,
making it impossible to study pedestrian safety with it. With this in mind,
the ability to externally control pedestrians in SUMO was explored. Using
Unity3D to create an external three dimensional
representation of a running SUMO simulation, we were able to create and
control pedestrians through the TraCI API. This
also opened the possibility to use virtual reality immersed subjects to
participate in the simulation, opening the door to study real pedestrian behaviour to create more elaborate models. It also
allowed us to completely offload the pedestrian simulation from SUMO to
Unity3D, which was tested with the external implementation of the social
forces model, without losing SUMO's interactions
between pedestrians and motorized vehicles. |
