サイバーフィジカルモビリティラボ：ネットワーク化自動運転車両のためのオープンソースプラットフォーム

原文アブストラクト

This paper introduces our Cyber-Physical Mobility Lab (CPM Lab). It is an open-source development environment for networked and autonomous vehicles with focus on networked decision-making, trajectory planning, and control. The CPM Lab hosts 20 physical model-scale vehicles ({\mu}Cars) which we can seamlessly extend by unlimited simulated vehicles. The code and construction plans are publicly available to enable rebuilding the CPM Lab. Our four-layered architecture enables the seamless use of the same software in simulations and in experiments without any further adaptions. A Data Distribution Service (DDS) based middleware allows adapting the number of vehicles during experiments in a seamless manner. The middleware is also responsible for synchronizing all entities following a logical execution time approach to achieve determinism and reproducibility of experiments. This approach makes the CPM Lab a unique platform for rapid functional prototyping of networked decision-making algorithms. The CPM Lab allows researchers as well as students from different disciplines to see their ideas developing into reality. We demonstrate its capabilities using two example experiments. We are working on a remote access to the CPM Lab via a webinterface.
