Platooning

Vehicle platooning support for convoy driving research. Maintains formation with a lead vehicle using V2V communication data for cooperative adaptive cruise control.

Vehicle platooning support for convoy driving research. Maintains formation with a lead vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication data for cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) scenarios.

Hooks

HookDescription
updateGFXRuns each frame to update platoon position, adjust following distance, and apply control inputs.

Usage Example

-- Load platooning on a follower vehicle
extensions.load("tech/platooning")

  • ACC — Single-vehicle adaptive cruise control
  • TechCore — External API for platoon coordination

OBD Emulator

Emulates an OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) interface. Responds to standard OBD PIDs with simulated vehicle data, enabling real OBD scan tools to read BeamNG vehicle parameters.

Powertrain Sensor

Exposes powertrain device data (RPM, torque, gear, temperatures) as a pollable sensor. Provides structured access to engine and transmission state for external tools.
