Car Simulation Project

A vehicle trajectory simulation using a kinematic model with closed-loop control.

Prerequisites

• C++ compiler (g++ or clang++)
• Make
• Python 3.6+

Quick Start

Run the all-in-one build script:

chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh

This will:

• Build the C++ project
• Run the simulation
• Generate trajectory data in docs/trajectory.txt
• Create plots in docs/trajectory.png

Project Structure

• src/: C++ source code
• docs/: Output files
• build/: Compiled binaries
• plots.py: Visualization script
• build.sh: Build and run script
• setup.sh: Python environment setup

Manual Usage

Build and Run C++

make
./build/car_sim

Setup Python Environment

source setup.sh

Generate Plots

python plots.py [--file PATH] [--output DIR]

Development Workflow

1. Edit source files in src/
2. Run ./build.sh to rebuild, run, and visualize
3. Or run individual steps manually as needed
