Hi,

I am working on a road condition monitoring system and want to generate vehicle dynamics data using Project Chrono.

Is it possible to:

  • Build a custom road/track (with bumps, potholes, and roughness)?

  • Use or customise a vehicle model?

  • Extract sensor data by placing it in different locations

I want to use this data to validate my algorithms before real-world testing.

Thank you.

The answer is yes to all 3 questions.  This is all well illustrated and discussed in the documentation and in Chrono demos.

  • Custom roads can be built using OpenCRG (see for example demo_VEH_CRGTerrain_VSG).
  • See the documentation for the Chrono::Vehicle module.  That module is all about modeling vehicles. Look also at the Chrono library of vehicle models or at the various models defined through JSON specification files in the data directory. There are numerous demos using various vehicle models.
  • See the documentation for the Chrono::Sensor module. That module is precisely about modeling sensors placed on vehicles and getting access to the sensor data.  Look also at the several demos included with the Chrono distribution.
