Aufgaben
- The basis of the master's thesis is an existing model vehicle that is used for the pre-development of ADAS and AD functions that are developed in series at ESPRiT Engineering GmbH. The vehicle is equipped with a camera and lidar. Simple camera-based algorithms for object recognition have already been implemented.
- A virtual simulation environment is to be developed on the basis of a 3D game engine to replace the camera and to stimulate it externally.
- First, the requirements for the simulation environment are to be identified and documented. These requirements are to be structured according to the Pegasus 6-layer model to define the operational design domain (ODD).
- From this, requirements for the graphics engine and the physics engine of the game engine will be derived.
- Subsequently, a market analysis of open-source and commercial products will be carried out to determine their suitability for realizing the requirements. A structured selection will be made and justified on this basis.
- A simulation environment is to be implemented using the selected game engine.
- The implemented solution should be tested and demonstrated using the model vehicle.
