Ever wanted to set up complex CARLA simulations and scenarios without writing a line of code? - This is the power of Synkrotron’s OASIS Simulation Platform.
OASIS Sim facilitates the development and execution of complex scenarios through an intuitive, web-based, graphical user interface. The vast configurability of the CARLA simulator is exposed through OASIS Sim’s multiple views for Scenario Authoring, Vehicle Configuration, Diagnosis and Cloud Job Management. The simulation workload can be distributed and parallelised on the cloud, leveraging the power of distributed cloud computing such as Amazon Web Services with the latest GPU technology. In the following, we introduce you to OASIS Sim’s principal views to explain how they can help you set up and run your simulations! Please visit the Synkrotron website and request a trial.
Visual scenario authoring
OASIS Sim provides a Scenario Editor GUI that enables users to design and edit traffic scenarios visually and intuitively. Users can specify the environment condition, the driving task of the ego vehicle and the behaviors of other traffic participants. The definition of these elements is compatible with OpenScenario 1.0 and can be imported from external sources or exported. Background traffic can also be managed in this view to add diversity and complexity to each scenario.
Sensor and vehicle configuration
In the Vehicle Configuration panel users can equip the ego vehicle with pre-defined sensor types, a vehicle dynamics model and an autonomous driving system. This view offers visualizations of sensor placement and fields of view, allowing comprehensive configuration of the sensor suite and behaviors of the ego vehicle.
Cloud based job management
OASIS Sim works on the cloud, leveraging the scalability of cloud computing and the latest GPU technology to accelerate your simulation workflow. Each simulation is managed as a cloud processing job in the task management view. For each job you can see progress status and key outcome indicators such as collisions or traffic infractions. Multiple jobs will be parallelised using cloud computing resources to accelerate the R&D workflow.
Diagnosis
Completed simulations can be analyzed in detail through the Diagnosis view to scrutinize the performance of an autonomous driving system under test both visually and through log data. Sensor feeds such as cameras and LIDAR can be replayed directly, performance logs can be viewed and downloaded and telemetry details such as speed, acceleration and inertial motion can be viewed graphically. The Diagnosis view gives you everything you need to troubleshoot your system through detailed metrics and visual analysis.
Deployment and integration
Both cloud and local deployments of Oasis Sim are available through containers. A comprehensive API exposes OASIS Sim’s features for seamless DevOps integration in your R&D workflow. Please visit the Synkrotron website and request a trial.
