This repository includes some demo applications showing Plexe features within SUMO using the TraCI interface via Python. The demo includes:
- A join maneuver demo, where a vehicle approaches a platoon of 8 cars and joins it in a certain position.
- An engine demo, which shows the features of the realistic engine model by running a sort of drag race between three different vehicle models: an Alfa Romeo 147, an Audi R8, and a Bugatti Veyron.
The code of the first example is implemented inside the joindemo.py
file, while the second inside enginedemo.py. You can simply run them
using
python joindemo.py
and
python enginedemo.py
After running for a certain amount of time, both demo resets and automatically start from scratch (demo mode).
Alternatively, you can run them together with a dashboard, which shows the RPM, the speed, the gear, and the acceleration of the vehicle being tracked in the GUI. By tracking a different vehicle, the dashboard shows the data of the chosen one.
To run the demos together with the dashboard type
python dashboard-demo.py joindemo.py
and
python dashboard-demo.py enginedemo.py
Running the dashboard requires you to install PyQT5. These demos
currently work with the latest experimental version of Plexe SUMO, which
can be downloaded here.
Checkout and compile the plexe-planetsumo-0.31.0 branch.
