Driving Simulators & Simulation Software

Platforms, rig builds, and research projects in driving simulation.

Simulation Software

CARLA

Open-source autonomous driving simulator. Used for sensor simulation, agent development, and scenario testing.

BeamNG.tech

Soft-body physics simulator used for realistic vehicle dynamics research and hardware-in-the-loop testing.

AirSim

Microsoft's open-source simulator for AI research — used for drone and vehicle simulation with photorealistic rendering.

VI-WorldSim

Professional driving simulator software from VI-grade, used for real-time vehicle dynamics simulation and driver-in-the-loop testing.

VI-CarRealTime

Real-time vehicle dynamics model from VI-grade, used for hardware-in-the-loop and driver-in-the-loop simulation applications.

VI-DriveSim

VI-grade's driver-in-the-loop simulation environment, integrating vehicle models with real-time visual and motion feedback.

Notable Projects
