Recursive Path Finding
For my final year project in university, I set my self the target of making a dynamic traffic system which ran though the blueprints system within Unreal Engine 4.
My main Point of this was to create a path finding technique that would guide the AI from there start point to their random destination.
All blueprints and art has been created by myself
Features
Cars Spawn at random, at predetermined points and given a random destination
A route is worked out using a recursive path finding technique using just blueprints
User can add road blocks to the road. AI will become aware of this and reroute if necessary. The same applies if the road block is removed
Time of day affects spawn rate of cars. peak time in the morning and evening increases cars spawn rate
Traffic lights at intersections. The way the system works means the cars go in the correct lane
Street lights and cars headlights come on around a certain time each with a small degree of randomisation to mimic life.
Improvements
Add realistic steering to cars
Make use of splines to improve cars paths around corners
Ensure cars take shortest route possible
