用真实交通波数据驱动仿真,让自动驾驶测试更贴近现实。

Incorporating Ephemeral Traffic Waves in A Data-Driven Framework for Microsimulation in CARLA

  • 以实测交通波数据作为边界条件,动态生成仿真中的车辆行为。
  • 在低/高拥堵场景下复现了真实的交通波形成与消散过程。
  • 适合评估自动驾驶感知、控制策略及交通波缓解方案。

本文提出一种基于CARLA的驾驶数据驱动微仿真框架,利用I-24 MOTION测试场的高保真时空数据重建真实交通波动态。传统校准方法难以复现如交通波等瞬态现象,本工作将交通状态数据作为自车运动的边界条件,而非依赖微观仿真内部生成。通过自动构建1英里长的I-24高速公路段,结合实测数据驱动共仿真模块,向仿真注入实时交通信息。以真实数据中采样的自车为中心,仅在纵向可视范围内生成可见交通流,通过前后“幽灵单元”实现远端边界控制。不同于以往聚焦局部跟驰或抽象几何的仿真,本框架以完整时空图谱保真度为验证目标。借助CARLA丰富的传感器套件与可配置车辆动力学,模拟了低/高拥堵下的波形生成与消散,结果表现出与真实交通高度一致的涌现行为,为评估交通控制策略、感知驱动的自动驾驶及未来波浪缓解方案提供全新共仿真平台。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper introduces a data-driven traffic microsimulation framework in CARLA that reconstructs real-world wave dynamics using high-fidelity time-space data from the I-24 MOTION testbed. Calibration of road networks in microsimulators to reproduce ephemeral phenomena such as traffic waves for large-scale simulation is a process that is fraught with challenges. This work reconsiders the existence of the traffic state data as boundary conditions on an ego vehicle moving through previously recorded traffic data, rather than reproducing those traffic phenomena in a calibrated microsim. Our approach is to autogenerate a 1 mile highway segment corresponding to I-24, and use the I-24 data to power a cosimulation module that injects traffic information into the simulation. The CARLA and cosimulation simulations are centered around an ego vehicle sampled from the empirical data, with autogeneration of "visible" traffic within the longitudinal range of the ego vehicle. Boundary control beyond these visible ranges is achieved using ghost cells behind (upstream) and ahead (downstream) of the ego vehicle. Unlike prior simulation work that focuses on local car-following behavior or abstract geometries, our framework targets full time-space diagram fidelity as the validation objective. Leveraging CARLA's rich sensor suite and configurable vehicle dynamics, we simulate wave formation and dissipation in both low-congestion and high-congestion scenarios for qualitative analysis. The resulting emergent behavior closely mirrors that of real traffic, providing a novel cosimulation framework for evaluating traffic control strategies, perception-driven autonomy, and future deployment of wave mitigation solutions. Our work bridges microscopic modeling with physical experimental data, enabling the first perceptually realistic, boundary-driven simulation of empirical traffic wave phenomena in CARLA.
