Carla Connected Mobility vs Autonomous Driving

A simple scenario to demonstrate where an autonomous vehicle cannot avoid a crash, while via vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication the crash can be avoided.

This scenario is made for demonstration purposes only.

Autonomous Driving Mode

ad.mp4

By using autonomous driving only, the vehicle cannot avoid the crash.

Connected Mobility Mode

By using additional network devices with vehicle-to-pedestrian communication (V2P), the vehicle receives the trajectory of the pedestrian, determines an intersection of both and reacts much earlier than in the first scenario. The crash is avoided in this scenario.

Setup

• Carla 0.9.13
• Ubuntu 20.04
• Python 3.8.10

Installation

Run pip install -r requirements.txt

Launching

Inside the src folder, run python3 main.py for the autonommous driving mode. Add the flag --connected_mobility for V2P communication.
