Simulation plugin ecosystem

Unreal Engine 5 plugins for open simulation standards, middleware and procedural content.

Live graph for configuring interfaces and subsystems.
Live graph for configuring interfaces and subsystems.

A set of interlocking plugins that turn Unreal Engine into a test platform for software-defined vehicles:

  • Standards: ASAM OSI, OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE, including authoring
  • Co-simulation: FMI and OSMP sensor models, a sensor co-simulation configured in YAML
  • Middleware: ROS 2 through Zenoh and through Cyclone DDS without a ROS installation, SOME/IP, plain TCP and UDP
  • Content: road network and building generators with OpenStreetMap support

The goal is a platform that project partners can connect to with their own software stacks and still exchange comparable results.

Next steps

  • SUMO co-simulation
  • Lanelet2 and OpenLABEL export
  • Test execution and evaluation layer
