The simulation of road traffic is an essential part of an Autobahn police simulation. Stationary traffic is just as much a part of a vibrant world as the many vehicles on the Autobahn and on the roads off the Autobahn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether drivers are waiting for a green light, a vehicle is simply traveling down the road, or a traffic jam is forming because of an emergency response with flashing lights\u2014traffic can flow, accidents can happen, and sometimes a vehicle fails to follow traffic laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this takes place within a comprehensive simulation that controls the vehicles. Each vehicle is its own instance that acts and interacts independently of the other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, vehicles in the game must react to accidents or emergency lights. They should stop at a traffic check. Road signs and traffic lights must also be obeyed. The simulation is therefore an essential part of the world in Autobahn Police Simulator 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This becomes particularly clear during police traffic stops. If you select a vehicle for a traffic stop, and in the game, you can stop any vehicle, something happens to the NPC vehicle. Up until that point, it was part of the moving traffic. However, the vehicle attempts to facilitate the traffic stop and searches within the simulation for a safe place to pull over. If a suitable spot is found on the Autobahn (such as a pull-off), this can happen very quickly. If no suitable spot is available nearby, the NPC vehicle will drive to a safe location, such as a gas station along the route. This might sometimes involve driving a few kilometers further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, every vehicle in the game is part of the comprehensive traffic simulation. However, each car is also its own instance that follows the simulation\u2019s rules while still reacting to actions and external influences. All of this serves to simulate traffic as realistically as possible\u2014and as our developers will tell you, it\u2019s quite a complex and involved process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve put together a short video for you that shows various situations. Feel free to check it out\u2014we look forward to your feedback.

Die Simulation des Stra\u00dfenverkehres ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil einer Autobahn Polizei Simulation. Ruhender Verkehr ist genauso Bestandteil einer lebendigen Welt, wie die vielen Fahrzeuge auf der Autobahn und auf den Stra\u00dfen abseits der Autobahn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Egal ob an der Ampel auf Gr\u00fcn gewartet wird, ob ein Fahrzeug nur auf der Stra\u00dfe unterwegs ist oder ob sich ein Stau bildet, weil es gerade einen Einsatz mit Blaulicht bildet. Verkehr kann laufen, es gibt Unf\u00e4lle und manchmal beachtet ein Fahrzeug die Regel der Stra\u00dfenverkehrsordnung nicht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alles das passiert in einer umfangreichen Simulation, mit der die Autos gesteuert werden. Dabei bildet jedes Fahrzeug eine eigene Instanz, die unabh\u00e4ngig von den anderen Fahrzeugen agiert und auch interagiert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So m\u00fcssen Fahrzeuge im Spiel auf Unf\u00e4lle oder Blaulicht reagieren. Sie sollten bei einer Kontrolle anhalten. Auch Stra\u00dfenschilder und Ampeln m\u00fcssen beachtet werden. Die Simulation ist also ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Welt in Autobahn Polizei Simulator 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deutlich wird das gerade auch bei Polizeikontrollen. W\u00e4hlst du ein Fahrzeug zur Kontrolle aus, im Spiel kann man jedes Fahrzeug kontrollieren, passiert etwas mit dem NPC-Fahrzeug. Bisher geh\u00f6rte es zum rollenden Verkehr. Nur versucht das Fahrzeug die Kontrolle zu erm\u00f6glichen und sucht im Rahmen der Simulation nach einer sicheren Stelle zum Anhalten. Findet sich die passende Stelle auf der Autobahn (beispielsweise eine Haltebucht) dann kann das sehr schnell passieren. Steht keine passende Position in der N\u00e4he zur Verf\u00fcgung, f\u00e4hrt das NPC-Fahrzeug zu einer sicheren Stelle, beispielsweise eine Tankstelle auf dem Weg. Das k\u00f6nnen dann aber auch mal ein paar Kilometer sein, die noch gefahren werden m\u00fcssen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wie man sieht, ist jedes Fahrzeug im Spiel Teil der umfassenden Simulation des Verkehrs. Jedes Auto ist aber auch eine eigene Instanz, die den Regeln der Simulation folgt, aber trotzdem auf Aktionen und Einfl\u00fcsse reagiert. Das alles dient dazu den Verkehr m\u00f6glichst realistisch zu simulieren und wenn man mit unseren Entwicklern spricht: das ist schon ganz sch\u00f6n aufwendig und kompliziert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wir haben euch ein kleines Video zusammengestellt, welches verschiedene Situationen zeigt.
