Ride vehicle object-interaction/collision simulation and safety system.
A simulation platform may receive equipment information regarding ride equipment. The equipment information identifies a first location of a first end of the ride equipment on a travel path and identifies a second location of a second end of the ride equipment. The simulation platform may determine, based on the equipment information, that the first location is at a first distance from a starting location on the travel path and indicates that the second location is at a second distance from the starting location. The simulation platform may execute a computer model to perform a simulation of a movement of a passenger vehicle along the travel path. The simulation platform may determine, during the simulation, that the passenger vehicle is located at a particular distance from the starting location. The simulation platform may determine whether the particular distance corresponds to a location between the first location and the second location.
BACKGROUND
A ride system includes a passenger vehicle that transports passengers through a ride experience. Typically, the passenger vehicle includes a system or device that propels the passenger vehicle through the ride experience, from one portion of the ride system to another portion of the ride system. The passenger vehicle may interact with different objects as the passenger vehicle travels along a ride path of the ride system. SUMMARY
In some implementations, a method performed by a simulation platform includes receiving equipment information regarding ride equipment of a ride system, wherein the equipment information identifies a first location of a first end of the ride equipment on a travel path of the ride system and identifies a second location of a second end of the ride equipment on the travel path; determining, based on the equipment information, that the first location is at a first distance from a starting location on the travel path and that the second location is at a second distance from the starting location on the travel path; executing a computer model to perform a simulation of a movement of a passenger vehicle along the travel path of the ride system; determining, during the simulation, that the passenger vehicle is located at a particular distance from the starting location on the travel path; determining whether the particular distance corresponds to a location between the first location and the second location; and causing an action to
