A personal project for experimenting with CARLA client, featuring vehicle control, sensor management, and visualization capabilities.
## Features
- Realistic vehicle physics and control
- Multiple sensor types (Camera, GNSS, Collision, Lane Invasion)
- Dynamic weather system
- Traffic and pedestrian simulation
- Real-time visualization with HUD and minimap
- Comprehensive logging and data collection
- Support for both manual and autopilot modes
- Configurable simulation parameters
- **Automatic versioning and CI/CD pipeline**
- **Docker support with zero-configuration setup**
- **Web-based frontend and backend API**
## Requirements
- Python 3.11
- CARLA Simulator 0.10.0
- Pygame
- NumPy
- Matplotlib
- Tabulate
- PyYAML
- SQLAlchemy
- PostgreSQL (optional)
## Installation
### From Docker (Recommended)
```bash
# Pull the latest image
docker pull akshaychikhalkar/carla-driving-simulator-client:latest
# Run with Docker (frontend served by backend on port 8081)
docker run -p 8081:8000 akshaychikhalkar/carla-driving-simulator-client:latest
# Or use Docker Compose (recommended)
git clone https://github.com/AkshayChikhalkar/carla-driving-simulator-client.git
cd carla-driving-simulator-client
docker-compose -f docker-compose-prod.yml up -d
```
### From PyPI
```bash
pip install carla-driving-simulator-client
```
### From Source
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AkshayChikhalkar/carla-driving-simulator-client.git
cd carla-driving-simulator-client
```
2. Install in development mode:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
3. Install CARLA:
- Download CARLA 0.10.0 from [CARLA's website](https://carla.org/)
- Extract the package and set the CARLA_ROOT environment variable
- Add CARLA Python API to your PYTHONPATH:
```bash
# For Windows
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\path\to\carla\PythonAPI\carla\dist\carla-0.10.0-py3.11-win-amd64.egg
# For Linux
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/carla/PythonAPI/carla/dist/carla-0.10.0-py3.11-linux-x86_64.egg
```
## Usage
1. Start the CARLA server:
```bash
./CarlaUE4.sh -carla-rpc-port=2000
```
2. Run the simulator client:
```bash
# If installed from PyPI
carla-simulator-client
# If installed from source
python src/main.py
```
## Configuration
The simulator client can be configured through the `config/simulation_config.yaml` file. Key parameters include:
- Target distance
- Maximum speed
- Simulation duration
- Vehicle model
- Sensor settings
- Weather conditions
