The Chrono distribution contains several demos for modeling and simulating autonomous vehicles and robots with the SYNCHRONO module.
SynChrono supports synchronization of distributed simulations of multiple vehicles or robots in a single time and space coherent Chrono world. SynChrono also provides out of the box wrapping of Chrono::Vehicle models, Chrono::Irrlicht and Chrono::Sensor visualizations, modeling of intelligent intersection systems, and synchronization of deformable (SCM) terrain.
SynChrono demos:
- Basic SynChrono Demos (demo_vehicles/)
- demo_SYN_wheeled - Demo with driveable wheeled vehicles, on flat, rigid terrain, using MPI for synchronization.
- demo_SYN_tracked - Demo with driveable tracked vehicles, on flat, rigid terrain, using MPI for synchronization.
- Feature-oriented SynChrono demos
- demo_SYN_scm(_tracked) - Demo showing support for synchronized deformable (SCM) terrain
- demo_highway - Demo showing simple model for lane-changing and a highway mesh
All SynChrono demos use command-line arguments to control various options at run-time rather than needing a re-compile. You can view the options for a particular demo by running ./path/to/demo_SYN_somedemo --help. To run an MPI-based demo with n nodes, run the command:
For more complex MPI setups, please consult the documentation for your particular MPI distribution.
