Simulation of ADAS and AD systems is currently an area of considerable research, with a focus on providing realistic representations of scenarios in order to train AI systems. This has seen the arrival of technology form different industries, including gaming, in the case of games developer Epic’s Unreal Engine, which is capable of rendering highly detailed graphic environments.
For several years, specialist Mechanical Simulation has provided a plugin for Unreal that includes its latest CarSim and TruckSim vehicle module. The company has now released a series of instructional videos to assist engineers in integrating the engine’s impressive graphics capabilities into their simulations.
