Program Overview

This plugin enables users to record the movement of vehicle and pedestrian models in UC-win/Road for playback at a later time. This is a great tool for, but not limited to, situations when the users wish to examine collisions between cars or into guard rails while alternating between different view perspectives (see figure), which gives users more freedom in examining a situation in detail.

Functions and Features

Overview

Vehicle and pedestrian movements are recorded at numerous times (depending on computer hardware) per second to allow real time playback.

Car dynamics such as roll, pitch, and yaw angles are all recorded in details. Thus, users can easily spot the changes in road terrain and re-examine the causes of a crash effortlessly.


▲Fig.2 Car dynamics


The following table is a list of elements that are recorded. Other than model movements, traffic signals, and scenario contexts.


Vehicle Coordinates, roll, pitch, yaw, turn signals, brake lights, etc.
Pedestiran Coordinates, actions, roll, pitch, yaw
Traffic Signals Changes in lights
Context Details of a running scenario

Interface Guidance

  • Control Panel

    The control panel shown in the bottom can be accessed by going into Record/Play ribbon -> Player. The controls are straightforward and is similar to a standard video player, where the user can choose between normal playback, fast forward, rewind, or in slow motion. Users can also jump to a specific section of the replay data by directly clicking on the seek bar. Once a replay is saved, it can be viewed at any intended time.

  • Toolbar

    It is possible to embed the toolbar into the main menu interface, which allows a quicker, and more direct access to recording and playback features. (Fig.4)

  • Options

    The option allows users to select the view perspective during replay playback (e.g. first person from the driver's seat or third person from outside). It is also possible to selectively record cars that are at a certain distance, or record only pedestrians.

Linking with Scenario Plugin

This plugin is the most useful when paired with the Scenario Plugin to allow for a smoother recording of a certain scenario event. Users can choose to track only a portion of the event, such as start recording from just the few seconds before an accident to ensure that events are properly designed. Another example is to track and confirm the driving distance between a parking lot to a certain destination.

Data Management

Replays are recorded and compressed with ZLib, the same algorithm used for ZIP files, to cope as much as possible with the problem that recording too many moving 3D objects may cause the file size exceeding 1GB.

Further, to prevent overuse of RAM, only the desired section and a small portion ahead are pre-written into the memory.

With these methods, we have prevented memory stresses and avoided data loading delays, while maintaining the number of models and a high performance playback.

Linking with UC-win/Road SDK

By combining this plugin with UC-win/Road SDK, it is possible to record and control the playbacks from the SDK.

It is also possible to view a replay and extract the detailed control information, such as position, steering wheel angle, speed, etc., during driving simulation mode in the SDK. The following table contains some examples of the controls that can be manipulated from the SDK directly.


Rec Start recording
Replay Start playback
Stop Stop recording/playback
Jump Specify a time to start playback
LoadFromFile Load a specific file
DrivingCar Obtain information of the vehicle in operation
