CHARM – Digital Twin & Tunnel Simulation

In the project, FrostBit investigates the utilization of Unreal Engine 4 and the CARLA simulator in simulating mining conditions and mining situations. In the project, we implement a Digital Twin based on real world data measured from the tunnel, as well as a tunnel environment creation tool, which can be used to quickly and easily create varying simulation environments with different props and conditions. Interfaces for data transfer are developed between the simulation and external systems, which make it possible to transfer sensor data out of the simulation and also to transfer, for example, vehicle control commands to the simulation. During the project, other possible ways to effortlessly generate different environments with the help of point cloud data are also being explored.
