In each timestep, the system evaluates all objects detected by a Sensor and calculates the time to collision (TTC) for this object based on the perceived movement of the object. If, for any object, the TTC is lower than the threshold of the component, then the component gets activated. The system deactivates if the TTC is larger than 1,5 times the threshold of the component. .. table:: :class: tight-table ====================================== ====== ==== =================================================================================== Attribute Type Unit Description ====================================== ====== ==== =================================================================================== CollisionDetectionLongitudinalBoundary Double m Additional length added the vehicle boundary when checking for collision detection CollisionDetectionLateralBoundary Double m Additional width added the vehicle boundary when checking for collision detection TTC Double s Time to collision which is used to trigger AEB Acceleration Double m/s² Braking acceleration when activated ====================================== ====== ==== =================================================================================== .. code-block:: xml ... .. _components_trajectoryfollower: DynamicsTrajectoryFollower ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. _OpenSCENARIO: https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/openscenario/ This module forces agents to drive according to a specific trajectory.

An FMU has to be compatible with the FMI 1.0 or the FMI 2.0 specification (Functional Mock-up Interface) and has to be ABI (Application Binary Interface) compatible with the opSimulation binary. Additional reading about FMI is provided by the FMI standard website at https://fmi-standard.org/. For interfacing the FMUs in openPASS, the Modelon FMI Library is used, which is recommended on the FMI standard website. See https://jmodelica.org/. **FMU package format** FMI defines a packaging format for FMUs. The used container format is ZIP. It basically contains - among other parts - the compiled FMU code (as ``*.dll`` or ``*.so``, depending on the platform) and the ``modelDescription.xml``. Latter provides meta-data about the FMU, i. e. - Author information - Model name, identifier and description - Generation timestamp - Name and datatype of model variables (inputs and outputs) **Architectural overview** The wrapper is instantiated as a component of an agent. It reads the input variables for the FMU from the simulation and provides it the FMU and reads the output of the FMU and forwards it via signals to other agent components. .. image:: _static/images/FmuWrapperOverview.svg :alt: |op| FMU wrapper architectural overview **Framework channels** The wrapper can use input and output signals via *Channels* as every other agent component does. Framework channels (signals) can provide data and can also be written to by the wrapper. In addition, the wrapper is able to access the \c AgentInterface and \c WorldInterface methods. **FMI variables** Communication with the FMU happens via FMI variables (inputs and outputs). The wrapper will read in available variables from ``modelDescription.xml`` in the FMU package. These variables need to be mapped to variables and signals of openPASS in the VehicleComponentProfile. FMI 1.0 supports these standard datatypes: - bool - integer - real - string By using OSMP, three integer values can be used to support full osi messages **Configuration** Configuration of a particular FMU takes place in ``ProfilesCatalog.xml``. An example of a static system configuration can be found here "sim/contrib/examples/Configurations/StaticOSMPSensorDataToTrafficUpdateStepper". The following parameters are always required for the FmuWrapper. Depending on the FmuHandler additional parameters may be needed. .. table:: :class: tight-table :name: FmuWrapper basic configuration ==================== ======= ======= ================================================================================================================================ Key Type Default Description ==================== ======= ======= ================================================================================================================================ FmuPath string \- Path to FMU file, either absolute or relative to the simulator's configuration directory.

Then the ``modelDescription.xml`` is parsed and the FMU is checked for compatibility. If the parameter ``CsvOutput`` is set to `true`, a subfolder "FmuWrapper/Agent" will be created in the simulator's "results" directory. "" is replaced with the agent id. FMI output data will be logged to a file inside this directory. The filename consists of the FMU's name and extension "csv". This output can then be used for visualization in a spreadsheet application or it may be processed in any other way. Same goes for parameter ``Logging`` (having "log" as output file extension). **Primitive Datatypes** The FMU Wrapper allows to link Simulink models or any other FMU to |op|. It lets the user link any input variables of the FMU to values of the Agent in the simulation and any output values of the FMU to signals, that are forwarded to other |op| components. These mappings are defined with the following optional parameters. .. note:: Be careful with the size of integer data types when used in Matlab/Simulink.

For each object the values listed in the following table are available where *X* is the index of the object (between 0 and 9). If there are less objects than *X*, a default value is set (-1 for the Id, 0 for the other values). Only the list of objects is taken from the sensor.

It allows to pass input to the FMU as OSI messages as well as receive output as OSI message. For more information on OSMP see https://github.com/OpenSimulationInterface/osi-sensor-model-packaging.

Defaults to false. ========================================================= ==================== =============================================================================================================================================== The type of OSI messages the FmuHandler sends and receives is defined by its parameters. Only messages for which an FMU variable is given in the configuration are sent/received. An additional parameter defines whether the message should be logged as JSON file for every agent and every timestep (see table above). Currently these messages are supported: * SensorView: SensorView generated from the GroundTruth with this agent is host vehicle. * SensorViewConfig, SensorViewConfigRequest: Configuration of a sensor according to OSMP. * TrafficCommand: Trajectory from `OpenSCENARIO`_, that will be converted into a TrafficCommand. * SensorData: Output of a sensor. Can be input and/or output of an FMU. Received SensorData is forwarded to other components as SensorDataSignal. * TrafficUpdate: Will be converted to a DynamicsSignal, AccelerationSignal, SteeringSignal or LongitudinalSignal. If the update is empty, the signal will have ComponentState::Disabled. If it is only partially filled, the missing values for the DynamicsSignal will be set to the current state. * GroundTruth: Will be used as groundtruth information for everything that exists in the simulation world. **FmuVariables** FmuVariables can have different variability and causality. * There are the following causalities: Input, Output, Parameter and CalculatedParameter * Input or outputs can have the variability constant, fixed, discrete or continuous * Parameter or CalculatedParameter can have the variability constant, fixed or tunable In openPASS we have the initialization phase, which is only called once. In that phase first readValues is called. Then parameter values are synchronized between different config files. The following priority is used for the synchronization: modelDescription < systemConfig < SSP config. Afterwards still in the initialization phase writeValues is called. During the whole simulation in openPASS all the trigger functions are called each time step. For the FMU component we call WriteValues before trigger and readValues afterwards. For the first two time steps we have the following calls for read- and writeValues: 1) ReadValues (Init) 2) WriteValues (Init) 3) WriteValues 4) Trigger 5) ReadValues 6) WriteValues 7) Trigger 8) ReadValues Depending on them, FmuVariables are written/read to/from the FMU on different occasions, which is shown in the following table. .. list-table:: Write- and ReadValues depending on variability and causality :widths: 5 5 5 5 5 :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 1 * - - ReadValues - Init - WriteValues - Init - WriteValues - Trigger - ReadValues - Trigger * - Input - fixed - x - x - - * - Input - discrete or continuous - x - x - x - * - Output - fixed - x - - - * - Output - discrete or continuous - x - - - x * - Parameter - fixed - x - x - - * - Parameter - tunable - x - x - x - * - CalculatedParameter - fixed - x - - - * - CalculatedParameter - tunable - x - - - x .. note:: For alle kinds of Input, Output, Parameter and CalculatedParameter there exists the variablity "constant".

The brake pedal position is used as input. As output, the model returns the braking torques of the wheels as a vector. The model considers a response time [ms] and linear factors [m/s³] for the increase and decrease of the braking force.The distribution of braking force between the front and rear axles can be defined statically. .. table:: :class: tight-table ============================ ====== ==== ============================================================================================================== Attribute Type Unit Description ============================ ====== ==== ============================================================================================================== FrontAxlePercentage Double Distribution of the brake torque to the front axle in the case of all-wheel drive (AWD); Range 0-1 BrakeDecelerationInclineRate Double m/s³ Linear Rate of braking force increase BrakeDecelerationDeclineRate Double m/s³ Linear Rate of braking force decrease BrakeResponseTimeMs Double ms Brake response time ============================ ====== ==== ============================================================================================================== The maximum braking force of the system is determined from the maximum possible deceleration and the mass of the vehicle and is scaled by the brake pedal position (Input).

Then the braking force is built up linearly until the maximum or requested braking force has been reached. .. math:: F_{brake,current} = rate_{incline} \cdot (t_{brake} - t_{response}) When the brake is released, the braking force is dissipated with the decline rate until it has dropped to zero. After that, the response time builds up again. The braking force is divided among the axles according to the parameter "FrontAxlePercentage". Another input allows you to request a prefill that reduces the response time without braking .. _components_chassismodel: DynamicsChassis ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The chassis model determines the vertical forces of the four wheels from the longitudinal and lateral acceleration of the vehicle.

All data is provided as vectors. The model determines tire forces in the longitudinal and lateral directions as well as the wheel self aligning torques. The wheel self aligning torque is formed from the product of the tire side force and the pneumatic trail. A linear interpolation is performed between the values for the reference force and the double reference force. If no degressive tire behavior is desired, the parameters for the double reference force must be set identically to the values for the reference force. All forces are scaled with the coefficient of friction from the :ref:`scenario_vehiclemodels` ("FrictionCoefficient"). All further information about the model can be found in the following sources: https://www.tmeasy.de/ Rill, Georg. (2013). TMeasy -- A Handling Tire Model based on a three-dimensional slip approach. .. _components_motionmodel: DynamicsMotionModel ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The motion model converts the tire forces (input) into a translational and rotational movement of the vehicle. The air resistance of the vehicle is taken into account. For the dynamic calculation, the center of gravity position is taken from the :ref:`scenario_vehiclemodels` ("XPositionCOG","YPositionCOG"), which indicates the distance of the center of gravity to the center of the rear axle. If this data is not given, the center of gravity is positioned on half wheelbase. For air resistance, the properties "AirDragCoefficient" & "FrontSurface" from the :ref:`scenario_vehiclemodels` are used. For the equations of motion, see relevant vehicle dynamics books such as: Kücükay, Ferit (2022), "Grundlagen der Fahrzeugtechnik", page 1067 ff
