Soft-Body Simulation and Procedural Content Generation for Simulating Realistic Car Crashes

Researchers from the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems are working on the Flexcrash project to develop realistic crash scenarios and simulations of future traffic situations involving autonomous vehicles and human drivers. In the initial phase, driving scenarios extracted from publicly available databases will be fed into the soft-body simulator BeamNG.tech, a driving simulator specialising in realistic car crashes.
