In this project, we present demo videos for our miniature experimental platform, Mixed Cloud Control Testbed (MCCT), developed based on a new notion of Mixed Digital Twin (mixedDT).
The notion of mixedDT
Combining Mixed Reality with Digital Twin, mixedDT integrates the virtual and physical spaces into a mixed one, where physical entities coexist and interact with virtual entities via their digital counterparts.
The schematic diagram of the classical Digital Twin is as follows.
The schematic diagram of the proposed mixedDT is as follows.
The architecture of the MCCT
Under the framework of mixedDT, MCCT contains three major experimental platforms in the physical, virtual and mixed spaces respectively, and provides a unified access for various human-machine interfaces and external devices such as driving simulators.
An corresponding overview of the MCCT is as follows.
The detailed physical architecture of the MCCT is as follows, which is not presented in paper due to space limitations.
Demo videos
Cross-platform experiments are carried out on vehicle platooning, which is composed of different types of vehicles from different platforms in MCCT.
Experiment A: Mixing physical miniature vehicles and virtual vehicles
The formation of the platoon for experiment A is shown below.
The video of the experiment process is shown below.
Experiment B: Mixing physical miniature vehicles, virtual vehicles and a human-driven vehicle via a driving simulator
The formation of the platoon for experiment B is shown below. SCANeR Studio is the supporting software of the driving simulator.
The video of the experiment process is shown below.
