Traffic Simulator for Cluj-Napoca

!! Not fully documented repo, future updates will fix this.

About

This projects aims to create a traffic simulator for Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The firsts steps are to choose a zone to represent(in this case Mihai Viteazu Square, main central area of the town as seen in the printscreen below) on the scene(canvas) and create a prototype that will be used in the near future to develop the traffic AI and roads and road logic.

Currently developed

  • Roadsystem created with a multigraph and linked lists of 2D vectors. (as seen here: http://prntscr.com/h6ht77)
  • Math utils for linear algebra problems that occured during the project development and more.
  • Mockup api for fetching the points for the roads.
  • Data structures such as Queue, Stack, BinaryHeap, PriorityQueue, LinkedList, Multigraph etc…
  • Models such as Road, Car (they are currently in development)

Currently working on:

  • Updating the Car model and creating the AI for cars. (will be using graphs to easy work with distances between cars)
  • Updating the Road model
  • Enhancing the API.
  • 2D Car representation and physics (acceleration, deceleration, braking, ground friction, steering, maintaining distance from
    objects near, overtaking other cars in the same lane, changing lanes, etc…)
  • Creating a 2D Vector model with the basic operations needed and putting togheter the existing utilitary functions in the the class Vector2D
  • Changing the road friction based on the weather type(dry road = standard, wet road, snowy, etc…)

TO-DO:

  • create a user dashboard for inserting multiple cars
  • create an interface for users to select the area of the city to simulate traffic on
  • create weather conditions
  • add road obstacles

Installation

  • clone the repo
  • npm i
  • npm start

Notes:

  • 1°. You may have to change the environment variables IP and PORT as they are by default set to 0.0.0.0 and 8080.
  • 2°. No transcripters/loaders such as babel are used to transforms the ES6 code. The project makes use of the ES6 module system and await/async implemented in Chromes 61’s V8 engine.
  • 3°. The api is currently just a mockup that sends data collected from Google Maps by hand. 😦

Technologies used:

  • NodeJS version > 8.5.0
  • ES6 JS
  • 2D canvas api
