Overview
knowgo-vehicle-simulator has been developed to aid in the
development and validation of data-driven Connected Car services and
models that require easy access to realistic synthetic driving data,
both for static and streaming applications. It was originally designed
for generating event records for the KnowGo Car platform, but has
been generalized so that it may be useful both to Connected Car service
developers and researchers.
The vehicle simulator generates a single unique vehicle, which can be controlled either directly through the UI or through an optional REST API. This may be further interfaced with OEM-specific external data sources and models in order to permit the simulation state to act as an automotive digital twin. For fleet simulation workloads, multiple instances of the simulator may be run in parallel, with each generated vehicle being manually joined to a specified fleet.
