چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to present the communications aspect in Thetis, a real time multi-vehicles hybrid simulator for heterogeneous vehicles. This simulator allows hardware in loop (HIL) simulations including virtual sensors which allows to provide a representation of a virtual world, and with the support of communication devices, which allow overall communications between vehicles. After a short state of the art, we introduce the main mechanisms of our simulator. Then we present the modeling of the phenomena which are encountered when AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) communicate with aquatic modems, and the messages distribution system considering the assumptions we have made. Finally, we present results of our Hardware In Loop Simulation in which Taipan 2 and Taipan 300 (our 2 AUVs) exchange messages in different spatial configurations.

متن کاملThetis, an innovative tool for hybrid simulation of heterogeneous marin vehicles
Simulation is a necessary step to allow the experiment of new multi-vehicle scenarios. In this context, new tools are needed to test and validate the feasibility of the mission, the local and temporal behavior of the vehicles’ controllers and the efficiency of the algorithms used. That’s why we propose Thetis, a real-time multi-vehicles hybrid simulator for heterogeneous vehicles. This simulato...

In the present study, a model of a large Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) battery for use in the simulation of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) is developed. To attain this goal, an Equivalent Circuit (EC) consisting of a series resistor and two RC parallel networks is considered. The accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an HEV simulator are studied. The battery parameters identifica...
متن کاملAn Integrated Framework for Real-Time Interaction of Vehicles with Human
As technologies for full self-driving automation in vehicles progress rapidly, human factors become more complicated, and it is more difficult to predict driver’s behaviour on the road, especially under the mixed-traffic condition. In this paper, we introduce an efficient framework for research on the interaction between human-driven physical vehicles and autonomous vehicles by integrating a tr...
متن کاملA Virtual Collaborative World Simulator for Underwater Robots using Multi-Dimensional, Synthetic Environment
DVECS (Distributed Virtual Environment Collaborative Simulator) is used for testing of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) where both real and simulated vehicles can interact and cooperate in a hybrid, synthetic, virtual environment. This virtual reality system can be used to determine: (1) the optimal performance and criteria for the cooperating vehicles and its relative application; (2) the d...
