A brief description of what your project does and who it's for.
This project is a simulation of autonomous vehicles using neural networks. The simulation includes multiple cars navigating a road, with one car acting as the "best" car based on its ability to stay on the road and avoid obstacles. The neural network is visualized, allowing users to see how the network processes information to make driving decisions.
To set up the project, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Open
Index.htmlin your preferred web browser.
git clone https://github.com/maydaythecoder/SelfDrivingCar
cd selfdrivingcar
open Index.htmlThe simulation can be interacted with through the browser. Here are the key functionalities:
- Start/Stop Simulation: The simulation runs automatically when the
Index.htmlfile is opened. - Save/Discard Best Car: You can save the best-performing car's neural network to local storage and discard it if needed.
- Adjust Number of Cars: Modify the number of cars in the simulation by changing the value of
NinApp.js.
The main HTML file that sets up the canvas elements for the car and neural network visualizations.
Handles the initialization of the road, cars, and neural network visualization. Manages the animation loop and updates the state of the simulation.
Contains the Visualizer class, which is responsible for drawing
the neural network on the canvas.
Defines the Car class, which includes properties for position,
speed, and neural network. Handles car movement,
collision detection, and drawing the car on the canvas.
Defines the Road class, which sets up the lanes and
road borders for the simulation.
Defines the Sensor class, which equips the cars with sensors
to detect the environment around them.
Defines the Controls class, which manages user inputs and
AI control for the cars.
Contains utility functions used throughout the project,
such as linear interpolation (lerp).
Defines the neural network structure and the mutation function for evolving the neural networks.
Contributions are welcome!
