Simulation and visualization platform for Automated Vehicles and Mobility Services

Purpose and goal

The pre-study is to gather stakeholders and map their requirements on a platform for simulation and visualization of automated vehicles and mobility as a service. - The goals that have been fulfilled through this pre-study project is: - Identified and compared the existing simulation tools in a state-of-the-art analysis. - Formulated requirements on the open simulation and visualization platform through stakeholder analysis. - Described the vision and eventually visualized this in a mock-up visualization. - Refined ideas and create further project proposals in dialogue.

Expected results and effects

There are four main results gotten from the pre-study project. First, the result of stakeholder analysis (requirements, KPI:s), model architectures and model techniques within a system-of-system perspective. Second, state-of-the-art analysis that inspected the modelling frameworks that are available and and their characteristics. Third, visualization requirements and a mock-up visualization showing the vision. Fourth, further research project application to define criteria for the creation of a "digital twin" solution for automated vehicles and mobility as a service.

Planned approach and implementation

The project was conducted mainly in two phases to fulfill the goals. - In Phase 1, the state-of-the-art analysis was conducted focused on representative simulation tools and models. One workshop and one meeting have been held to identify stakeholders, KPI:s corresponding to stakeholder requirements. - In Phase 2, one meeting and one workshop have been held to set up the mock-up visualization. The potential of mapping current simulation related projects on to SIMnVIS. Phase 2 also identified the scenarios, use-cases and needs on system effects for a further project application.
