Abstract
A system and method for simulating a real roadway environment that can be used for testing of a real connected autonomous vehicle (CAV) on roadways using augmented reality to add simulated virtual environmental objects such as additional vehicles, pedestrians, and other obstructions to the nearby surroundings seen by the CAV under test. The method carried out by the system includes: receiving vehicle status information indicating the location of a connected real vehicle as it moves along a roadway; and generating a simulated environment of the real vehicle on the roadway using a mapped model of the roadway and the vehicle status information. The simulated environment includes one or more virtual objects such as vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstructions, and these simulated virtual objects may be sent to the real vehicle for testing of its response without requiring the use of real vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstructions.
