Abstract
A method for determining an attenuation of a wind caused by a simulated obstacle and experienced by a simulated vehicle in a simulation, comprising: receiving a wind direction and an initial speed for a simulated wind; generating a line of sight vector having a source position, a given direction and a given length, the given direction being one of opposite to the wind direction and identical to the wind direction; determining a distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated vehicle using the line of sight vector, the distance being at most equal to the given length of the line of sight vector; determining a wind attenuation gain using the distance between the simulated obstacle and the simulated vehicle; determining an actual speed for the simulated wind using the initial speed of the simulated wind and the gain for the wind attenuation; and outputting the actual speed.
