Application of Mixed Reality in Driverless Vehicles Technology Courses Testing and Teaching Activities

Abstract

At present, driverless vehicles technology has become the most concerned hot spot in the automotive field, and college students' learning enthusiasm in this field is unprecedented. However, the existing teaching and testing methods and resources are far from meeting the requirements. The main difficulties are (1) it is difficult to realize the traffic scene of driverless vehicles technology; (2) Using real vehicle experiment is prone to collision, resulting in loss of personnel and property. In this paper, a technical scheme of constructing driverless vehicles technology testing and teaching environment in the laboratory by using mixed reality technology is proposed. The complex traffic scene is realized in the simulation software by using virtual reality technology, and the driverless vehicles adopts the real scaling-down automatic chassis model. Through hardware in the loop simulation, the mixture of virtual traffic environment and the actual reality of driverless vehicle model is realized. This method has the advantages of rich traffic scenes and flexible adjustment, and the collision between real vehicles and virtual vehicles will not cause actual property damage.
