Abstract Details

2021, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The use of autonomous vehicles (AV) for public passenger transport has rapidly grown in the past few year within the mobility industry. They provide a flexible solution that can help reduce traffic congestion, energy consumption, safety, among many others. In 2020, the Smart Columbus Initiative (SCI) deployed two level-four autonomous shuttles to help solve the first mile/last-mile mobility challenge in Linden Residential Area. This thesis focuses on providing a realistic simulation platform for this real-life scenario. The environment use the CARLA (Car Learning to Act) simulator as a backbone and provides co-simulations such as SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) for a more realistic traffic simulation and Autoware for a realistic autonomous driving stack. Multiple traffic scenarios are provided, including NHTSA’s (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) pre-crash scenarios, to test the safety and decision-making of the shuttles [1]. An evaluation and rating scheme is also introduced and illustrated using autonomous driving in the Linden Residential Area soft environment.
