Traffic3D: A Rich 3D-Traffic Environment to Train Intelligent Agents¶
Traffic3D is a new traffic simulation paradigm, built to push forward research in human-like learning (for example, based on photo-realistic visual input). It provides a fast, cheap and scalable proxy for real-world traffic environments. This implies effective simulation of diverse and dynamic 3D-road traffic scenarios, closely mimicking real-world traffic characteristics such as faithful simulation of individual vehicle behaviour, their precise physics of movement and photo-realism. Traffic3D can facilitate research across multiple domains, including reinforcement learning, object detection and segmentation, unsupervised representation learning and visual question answering.
Technologies¶
Traffic3D is based on the Unity 3d games engine. The AI is written in Python3 with PyTorch.
Supported platforms¶
Traffic3D is tested on 64-bit Windows, Linux and OSX.
