An Artificial Intelligence-Based Vehicular System Simulator

This paper presents a vehicular system simulator, which enables the human player to race a car against three system-controlled cars in a three-dimensional road system. The objective of the vehicular system simulator is not to support defeating the opponent in a car race, but to provide the player with a challenging and enjoyable racing experience. Therefore, it is important that the system simulates human driving behavior and adopts cognitive computing. The paper discusses development of the vehicular system simulator using the artificial intelligence AI techniques that are supported in the game engine of Unity. The design and implementation of the vehicular system simulator are presented. The discussion includes some possible extensions of the current version of the system so that it can be adapted to be a simulation system for education purposes
