TY - THES A1 - Patel, Parth Hasmukhbhai T1 - Development of 3D simulation environment for testing and calibration of autonomous vehicles N2 - Real-world testing is crucial for developing and scaling autonomous vehicles but virtual testing has an edge over the traffic and vehicle safety, repeatability of the scenarios and test cases, SW to HW calibration. The 3D simulation environment testing is one of the complex tasks in autonomous vehicles development and research task. This thesis is focused on the development of that near similar dynamic behavior of the vehicle and the environmental conditions such as rain, cloudy, sunny, and foggy weather. The study is undertaken for the development and calibration of the Renault Twizy in the Carla simulation environment using Unreal Engine 4.24, along with building and testing driving scenarios, then after setting up ROS-Bridge to act as a middleware between Autoware.ai and Carla simulator. A brief study is also carried over the Autoware.ai and various other autonomous stacks which will be further used as our standard platform for the computation, and processing of algorithms and data for our vehicle.
