However, the real-world application of autonomous vehicles faces many challenges due to the immaturity of automated systems. As a consequence, simulation verification plays an irreplaceable role in the application of autonomous vehicle (AV). Car-following is the most common driving scenario in mixed traffic flows, so it is essential to develop an appropriate and effective simulation method for AV. Combined with the existing AV simulation methods and digital twin (DT) technology, this paper proposes a DT-assisted method for AV simulation in a car-following scenario. The method makes the physical vehicle interact with the DT vehicle, and the DT vehicle can dynamically regulate the physical entities through real-time simulation data; the simulation verification can be displayed in the DT scenario to ensure the security of the simulation. Meanwhile, a DT-assisted simulation framework of AV is proposed, the framework includes physical entity components, DT components, and data processing and evaluation components. Besides, a DT-assisted simulation platform is developed base on Unity engine. Finally, the DT-assisted simulation of AV in the car-following scenario is implemented in field experiment. The experimental results show that the proposed method can be effectively conducted AV simulation in car-following, and the average of communication latency is 52.3\u2009ms, which is smaller than the update frequency 15\u2009Hz (66.6\u2009ms) between DT-assisted platform and AV. The DT-assisted simulation method of AV proposed in this paper is applied in the car-following scenario, which effectively solves the challenges of car-following scenario simulation through virtual-real interaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/4879490","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T23:20:30Z","timestamp":1653520830000},"page":"1-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Design and Implementation of Digital Twin-Assisted Simulation Method for Autonomous Vehicle in Car-Following Scenario"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0876-4892","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Huiyuan","family":"Xiong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Transport System, School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), Gangzhou 510275, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7294-5212","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zhijun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Intelligent Transport System, School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), Gangzhou 510275, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5193-8504","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Guohui","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China General Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, 518124 Guangdong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6080-9392","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yuelong","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China General Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, 518124 Guangdong, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0361198120918871"},{"key":"2","first-page":"122","article-title":"Simulation driven design and test for safety of ai based autonomous vehicles","author":"V.
