Automatic Generation of Pedestrians in Virtual Simulation of Roadway Intersections

摘要

The disclosure includes embodiments for automatically generating a virtual pedestrian for inclusion in a digital simulation. Some embodiments of a method may include automatically generating a virtual pedestrian based on a path specification and a behavior specification. The method may include executing a digital simulation that includes the virtual pedestrian crossing an intersection and a virtual vehicle responding to the virtual pedestrian crossing the intersection, wherein the digital simulation is operable to measure a performance of a virtual Advanced Driver Assistance System (virtualized “ADAS system”) included in the virtual vehicle to protect the virtual pedestrian when responding to the virtual pedestrian crossing the intersection. The method may include displaying a set of visualizations on a display, wherein the set of visualizations on the display visually describe the performance of the virtual ADAS system to protect the virtual pedestrian when responding to the virtual pedestrian crossing the intersection.
