Traffic Control Simulator is an open-source tool for simulating city traffic control, to get the optimal setup, to reduce waiting time for everyone, either car drivers or pedestrians.
This project was originally ideated and written in the UniHack Hackathon, hosted in Timișoara, Romania, from the 24th to the 27th of November.
We chose to develop over the Smart City, trying to find the best eco-friendly solution that we could achieve in a short ammount of time.
The first problem we found is that, since we're not from Timișoara, nor from anywhere near, seeing the problems in a city, or how it could be improved becomes sort of a challenge.
That's how we came up with this project idea: Traffic Control Simulator.
The main point of this is to create an open-source Simulation Tool, based on cities, to be able to represent traffic situations, and how this could be solved.
We used mainly C++ to develop the software, since it's a programming language we're pretty familiar with.
Although it's a challenge to write a full Desktop Application in 48 hours using C++ as our language, we were confident in that we could take it on, and have at least a smal MVP for the project showcase, as a prove of concept.
This entire project was developed by us, comming from Barcelona, under the name of Aburrits.dev.
This are the names of all 4 of the developers:
- Joaquim Torra Garcia
- Pau Gibert Moreno
- Angel Prat Vilà
- Jorge Borrás i Duarte
You'll need to have installed:
- g++ v 11.2.0
- SFML library v 2.5.1
Build the project to try it on your computer by executing the following commands
cd TCSim
./make.shAnd run it with ./TCSim [file].csv.
There's a few city examples in the ./Examples folder.
Open the Visual Studio solution under the directory ./TCSim/.
This project was built with VS2022, so it's recomended ** Compile and run the solution. Any issues, address them directly to the developers.
If you're executing from the IDE, for the moment, the easiest way to try different csv files is to hard-code them.
./Examples/csv_provaLONDRES.csv loaded and running.
./Examples/csv_prova1.csv loaded and running.
