DASA is an open-source design, analysis, and simulation framework for automotive IBC systems that can consider the change in vehicle dynamics in real-time and produces real-time dynamic image stream as per the control algorithm. Our framework models the 3D environment in 3ds Max, simulates the vehicle dynamics, camera position, environment and traffic in V-REP and computes the control output in Matlab. Our framework runs Matlab as a server and V-REP as a client in synchronous mode. Effectively, this is a software-in-the-loop simulator using Vrep and Matlab. This work was presented in:
S. Mohamed, D. Zhu, D. Goswami, T. Basten, "DASA: an open-source design, analysis and simulation framework for automotive image-based control systems," in: MCAA Annual Conference, 2019.
DASA consists of 3 tools:
-
3ds Max Install this only if you want to model the 3D environment not already included in the release. You can download it from https://www.autodesk.eu/products/3ds-max/overview
-
V-REP You should download it from http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/downloads.html. Follow their instructions to install it.
-
Matlab You should download it from https://nl.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html. Follow their instructions to install it.
DASA needs openCV library to be installed in your system. The current framework uses "mexopencv". You can install it from https://github.com/kyamagu/mexopencv. The path to the installation should be added to Matlab path.
Documentation on the framework can be found in DASA Tutorial.pdf.
This website provides also a command-line reference guide and documentation of
the API.
