PacSim

PacSim (Planning and Controls Simuluator) is a simulator for Formula Student Driverless competitions originally developed at Elbflorace.

Example of a pipeline running in PacSim with visualizations in Foxglove:

Demo gif

Features

  • Closed loop simulation of the autonomous system.
    • Simulation of vehicle dynamics
    • Simulation of all the relevant sensors (except for raw perception data) for autonomous operation. All sensors simulated are specified by at least their rate, dead time (delay), noise and some sensor-specific additional attributes.
      • IMU, wheel speeds, wheel motor torques, steering angle, GNSS
      • Mock model of the detected cones by the perception system
    • Competition logic
      • Track lap times, evaluate penalties and detect DNF
      • Create report at the end of the run
    • Configurable grip map (different friction coefficients for track segments)
  • Additional scripts and tools
    • Track editor (track_editor directory)
    • Converter from FSSIM sdf to our track format.

Prerequisites

This package is developed and tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with ROS2 Iron.

Install dependencies:

sudo apt install ros-iron-desktop ros-iron-xacro

How to get started

To get started with using PacSim, take a look at the Getting Started README here.

Contributing

Contributions in any form (reports, feedback, requests, submissions) are welcome. Preferably create an Issue or Pull request for that.

The project also has a discord server.

Known issues

  • In Foxglove Studio (in contrast to RViz) the mesh of the car is displayed incorrectly using default settings. To fix this go to the left sidebar of the 3d panel -> Scene -> Mesh up axis and select Z-up. Restart to apply the change.
  • Currently the track editor can't handle the skidpad and acceleration tracks (lanesFirstWithLastConnected = False) properly.
  • Currently there exists no editor and visualization for the grip map.

  • Alexander Phieler (Main development)
  • Niklas Leukroth (Track and Config file parser)

The project also has a discord server.

Known issues

  • In Foxglove Studio (in contrast to RViz) the mesh of the car is displayed incorrectly using default settings. To fix this go to the left sidebar of the 3d panel -> Scene -> Mesh up axis and select Z-up. Restart to apply the change.
  • Currently the track editor can't handle the skidpad and acceleration tracks (lanesFirstWithLastConnected = False) properly.
  • Currently there exists no editor and visualization for the grip map.
