Abstract:
Modern embedded systems, combined with the progressions of digital communication technologies, have been empowering a new generation of systems, firmly connecting with the physical environment via sensing and actuating actions: Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). Cooperative Vehicular Platooning (CoVP) is one of these emerging applications among the new generation of safety-critical Cooperating CPS. CoVP is a methods for driving a group of vehicles together. It can potentiate several benefits, such as safety, fuel efficiency and the capacity of roads via an automated highway system. COPADRIVe is a co-simulation tool that is currently being developed and aims to create a fully functional platooning system. Although, one of the components that slows the development process is related to the difficulty of "keeping on track" such complex systems since there are a wide number of variants that need to be constantly analyzed. Therefore, to strengthen and improve the work done on this simulation tool, this Thesis proposes to implement a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows an easier interconnection between the developer and the simulation development system, which in this case is the Robot Operating System (ROS). The main objective of this work it to facilitate data analysis and processing of COPADRIVe, serving as front-end for the simulation analysis and control.
