ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the development of a rapid simulation development platform based on CARLA and ROS. Firstly, the high cost and difficulty of algorithm verification in real-world experiments, mapping, and planning were introduced. The goal of accelerating research and development efficiency through the use of simulation development platforms was proposed. Based on these requirements, a multi-level platform architecture was designed, and the platform architecture, construction process, and related applications were introduced, creating a rapid development platform for autonomous driving simulation tasks. Finally, using mapping experiments and motion planning experiments as examples, the application of the rapid development platform was introduced.
