CARMAcloud

Documentation

CARMAcloud provides some of the infrastructure components for CARMA. It enables users to define geofences, rules of practice, replay storms to test weather-related rules of practice, as well as monitor CARMA-enabled vehicles and the messages and controls exchanged with them. Additional documentation can be found on the Doxygen Source Code Documentation page.

Deployment

CARMAcloud can be deployed on a Linux server. Ensure you have a properly configured git client and Java Development Kit before executing the following commands (some paths may have to be updated depending on the version and installation of the JDK):

#!/bin/bash
# java and javac must be executable from the command line

# update and get required packages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pkg-config sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev iptables

# download, compile, and install proj needed to process XODR files
cd /tmp
wget https://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-6.1.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf proj-6.1.1.tar.gz
mv proj-6.1.1 proj

# sudo useradd -g v2xhub -m v2xhub

# start tomcat using /opt/tomcat/start_cc.sh
# stop tomcat using /opt/tomcat/end_cc.sh

These commands will download the CARMAcloud source code from github, necessary dependencies, and the tomcat webserver. Changes to the tomcat version might be necessary if version 9.0.34 is no longer available on the Apache mirror. You can also download tomcat directly from the tomcat website. Tomcat cannot bind the port 80 when ran as the tomcat user, so iptables is used to redirect port 80 to 8080. Next the java code will be compiled and the .class files will be placed in the correct directory. Tomcat's server.xml file will have the carmacloud host entry inserted in the correct location. Carmacloud will be added to the /etc/hosts file. The java command that runs cc.ws.UserMgr will create the ccadmin user for the system. It is suggested to change to password to something more secure by replacing "admin_testpw" with the desired password in the command. Groups and users for tomcat and v2xhub will be created.

Configuration

The Tomcat webserver must be configured to run on the deployment server. Click here to find the documentation for Tomcat. There are many configuration items to considered but two that must be addressed for any deployment of the system are adding the domain name and SSL Certificate to the server.xml file. Proper security measures dealing with file permissions should be taken as well. According to Tomcat's documentation a tomcat user and group should be created in the operating system. The standard configuration for file permissions is to have all Tomcat files owned by root with group tomcat. Owner should have read/write permissions, group should have read permission, and world has no permissions. The exceptions are the logs, temp and work directory that are owned by the tomcat user rather than root. Additional users can be added to CARMAcloud by running the following command and replacing and with the desired user name and password respectively:

java -cp /opt/tomcat/webapps/carmacloud/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/:/opt/tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar cc.ws.UserMgr <username> <password> >> /opt/tomcat/webapps/carmacloud/user.csv

Additionally, you will need to generate an access token from Mapbox, and replace the text <your access token goes here> with your access token in the /opt/tomcat/webapps/carmacloud/ROOT/script/map.js file. The domain names in /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/mapbox/sourcelayers.json and /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/mapbox/validatexodr_sourcelayers.json files must be updated to match the domain name the Mapbox access token is associated with. File paths may need to be updated in web.xml for the servlets which describe where to find and save data files for CARMACloud. XODR files to be processed must be placed into the /opt/tomcat/work/carmacloud/xodr folder before starting the system. To easily navigate around XODR generated traffic control sets, add shortcut center coordinates to the /opt/tomcat/webapps/carmacloud/ROOT/mapbox/jumpto.json object in the format "label": [lon, lat]. Once everything is configured for the deployment, convenience scripts have been included to start and stop Tomcat which can be ran with the following commands:

/opt/tomcat/start_cc.sh
/opt/tomcat/end_cc.sh

Bounds File for IHP2 Speed Harmonization

This file allows the configuration of subsegments to be used for the IHP2 Speed Harmonization algorithm. The file consists of sections separated by a blank line. Each section has n number of lines. Each line describes a rectangular polygon that represents one subsegment for the algorithm. The first polygon of each section is the furthest downstream subsegment of a path along a road. Polygons must be defined by four points such that all lanes in a single direction of travel are encompassed by the polygon. The first point needs to be at the beginning of the subsegment, in regards to direction of travel, closest to the left edge of the lanes. The second point then follows the direction of travel to the end of the subsegment’s left edge. The third point is at the end of the subsegment’s right edge. The fourth point is at the beginning of the subsegment’s left edge. Arranging the points in this order should result in an open polygon with a clockwise order of points. The maxspeed traffic controls generated by the algorithm will have the geometries of these polygons.
Example:

x00,y00,x01,y01,x02,y02,x03,y03 // furthest downstream subsegment of path 0
x10,y10,x11,y11,x12,y12,x13,y13
...
x(n-2)0,y(n-2)0,x(n-2)1,y(n-2)1,x(n-2)2,y(n-2)2,x(n-2)3,y(n-2)3
x(n-1)0,y(n-1)0,x(n-1)1,y(n-1)1,x(n-1)2,y(n-1)2,x(n-1)3,y(n-1)3

x00,y00,x01,y01,x02,y02,x03,y03 // furthest downstream subsegment of path 1
x10,y10,x11,y11,x12,y12,x13,y13
...
x(n-2)0,y(n-2)0,x(n-2)1,y(n-2)1,x(n-2)2,y(n-2)2,x(n-2)3,y(n-2)3
x(n-1)0,y(n-1)0,x(n-1)1,y(n-1)1,x(n-1)2,y(n-1)2,x(n-1)3,y(n-1)3

Testing Considerations

Upon startup, CARMA Cloud automatically creates traffic controls for later sending to CARMA platform by reading XML OpenDrive files placed in its XODR work folder, e.g. <tomcat_home>/work/xodr. This can result in thousands of traffic controls that are mostly uninteresting for testing purposes. The cc.util.FilterControls command-line application accepts a list of traffic control identifiers, and creates a much smaller and more manageable subset of traffic controls that can be saved along with their respective testing scenarios.

After CARMA Cloud has been started for the first time in a testing scenario, XODR files will have been processed, and the tester can login to CARMA Cloud to add traffic controls for his testing needs. Executing an ls -lrt in the traffic controls folder, typically <tomcat_home>/work/carmacloud/traf_ctrls, will put the newly created traffic controls at the bottom of the list. The hexadecimal encoded text for the 16-byte traffic control ids to be kept can then be derived from three levels of folder paths and the traffic control filename.

The FilterControls application takes the source work folder name, the destination work folder name, and a space-separated list of at least one 16-byte hexadecimal encoded text traffic control id.

<java_home>/bin/java -cp <path_to_carmacloud_classes>:<path_to_carmacloud_lib>/keccakj.jar cc.util.FilterControls <source_path> <destination_path> <id1> <id2> ... <idN>

For example:

<java_home>/bin/java -cp <path_to_carmacloud_classes>:<path_to_carmacloud_lib>/keccakj.jar cc.util.FilterControls <tomcat_home>/work/carmacloud <tomcat_home>/work/filtered 00109ab6d542f12ca8942b436c9c9d8d

FilterControls creates the destination folder structure containing geolanes, linearcs, td, and traf_ctrls subfolders. The filtered traffic control files can then be saved with the appropriate testing scenarios. Both the td and traf_ctrls folders should always contain at least one file, and it is also normal under some circumstances that the geolanes and linearcs folders may contain no files.
