Abstract

Autonomous vehicles are one of the most popular and also fast-growing technologies in the world. As we go further, there are still a lot of challenges that are unsolved and may cause problems in the future when it comes to testing in real world. Simulations on the other hand have always had a huge impact in the fields of science, technology, physics, etc. The simulation also powers real-world Autonomous Vehicles nowadays. Therefore, We have built an Autonomous Vehicle Simulation Software - called AVIS Engine - that provides tools and features that help develop autonomous vehicles in various environments. AVIS Engine features an advanced input and output system for the vehicle and includes a traffic system and vehicle sensor system which can be communicated using the fast networking system and ROS Bridge.
