The Flexcrash platform aims to enable regulators, developers, and other parties to study the live interactions between human drivers and AVs in simulated mixed-traffic scenarios. Thus, enabling experimentation of future AVs, the Flexcrash platform can help identify critical mixed-traffic scenarios not yet covered by existing datasets and crash databases.
Studying the live interaction of human drivers and AVs requires a platform that can integrate AVs implemented using different technologies while protecting the intellectual property of their developers, be easy to use by human drivers, and effectively enable humans and automated vehicles to participate in the same simulations. Additionally, such a platform shall scale as many users and AVs are expected to participate in several
concurrent simulations.
