Dev Diary #11: Vehicle Intelligence

Get ready for a massive info dump regarding the progress we've made on vehicle behaviours. It's been quite some time since the last development video - for which we apologize - but the amount of features we were working on was quite large, and it also wasn't particularly easy. Especially because the simulation is multithreaded and needs to adhere to strict architectural requirements to ensure maximum performance.

So, without going into too much detail, in this video we'll be talking about:

• Basic vehicle movement

• Speed limit

• Collisions

• Crosswalks

• Merging

• Lane changing

• Lane sorting

• Lane rating

• Pathfinding

• Congestion

• A* algorithm

• Trailers

• Trailer lane changing

• Mega tram

• Middle connections

• Sneak peeks

• And additional thoughts

As usual, thank you very much for watching & following the development of Junxions. You are the reason we keep moving forward. Cheers and happy holidays everyone! <3
