Traffic Orchestrator

A road traffic simulator currently in development, with the ability to create roads and nodes and adjust the maximum speed of certain roads to reduce congestion.

Features

• Open, create and save a map file
• Map editing:
  • Create and edit roads with customizable lane count and speed limit
• Cars drive at the maximum speed of the road (multiplied by a personal factor)
• Cars maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front
• When a car reaches the end of a road, it moves to a random road connected to the node.
  • If no road is available, the car disappears. (The node is an exit point)

Todo

• Allow cars to change lanes on a road
• Improved node management (roundabouts, intersections, curves):
  • Currently, when a car reaches a node, it teleports to the next road.
• Add more traffic elements and rules (traffic lights, stop signs, pedestrian crossings, right-of-way rules, etc.)
• Use an "AI" to optimize traffic flow management in real-time:
  • The AI could control road elements (speed limits, traffic lights, etc.)
  • It could also manage each vehicle (lane changes, speed, best route)
• A node can be an entry point (cars spawn at this node)
• Confirm unsaved map before: opening a map, creating a new map, or quitting
• Improved zoom management and allow map navigation with the mouse in addition to the keyboard
• Display elapsed time and allow adjusting the game speed
• Ability to insert a node in the middle of a road + better bridge management
• Adjust UI size

Notes

• A road can have multiple lanes but only one direction, so to create a 2x3 lane road, you need to create two roads in opposite directions (or check the "create both directions" option).
• Speeds are in km/h, and the unit of distance is meters
• The average dimensions of a car are 4.7 x 1.8 m, but here they all are 5 x 2 m

Technologies

• C++
• Raylib: A simple and easy-to-use library to create 2D games.

Usage

You can either:

• Download the precompiled binaries (Windows and Linux)
