Simulation
Let’s say a member of our team develops a novel piece of a self-driving algorithm -
one that follows new principles and is entirely untried in its fundamental approach.
Everyone is itching to give it a try, but for obvious reasons we cannot simply let our car loose on the
town when it’s being operated by this exciting but untried software. But all experiments must start
somewhere, right? This is where our simulation comes in handy.
By simulation we mean we have a full digital twin
of the real-world demo track, accurate to a decimeter.
The simulation is implemented in
CARLA.
The creation of such an accurate digital twin relied heavily on the data provided by the
Estonian
Land Board, especially the elevation
data
and orthophotos.
