mskit-simu 0.6.4

Mini Simulation Kit — terrain + traffic simulations powered by Simu AI, OpenCTV, JAXA AW3D30

MSKit-Simu — Mini Simulation Kit

A lightweight Python library for terrain-based simulations powered by real-world elevation data, live traffic feeds, open camera streams, and Simu — an embedded AI assistant you talk to in plain English.

---

✨ What's Inside

Module	Description
DEMLoader	Streams JAXA AW3D30 30 m elevation tiles lazily from HuggingFace — no manual download needed
TrafficRouter	Auto-selects OpenTraffic → UTD19 → synthetic fallback, globally
OpenCTVLayer	Aggregates free public traffic camera feeds (Singapore, London, NYC)
Simu	Embedded AI assistant — understands plain English, picks and runs the right simulation
CLI (mskit)	Interactive terminal interface covering all features in one place

---

🚀 Installation

Option 1 — Core only (no AI brain, rule-based Simu)

pip install mskit-simu

Includes: terrain sims, traffic router, OpenCTV cameras. Simu works with rule-based NLU (no model download).

Option 2 — With AI brain (recommended)

pip install mskit-simu[llm]

Downloads SmolLM2-360M-Instruct (~700 MB, once). Simu understands natural language much better.

Option 3 — With your own GGUF model

pip install mskit-simu[gguf]

Lets you load any .gguf model file locally (e.g. from LM Studio or Ollama exports).

Option 4 — Everything

pip install mskit-simu[all]

Includes LLM, GGUF, matplotlib visualisation, and TIFF tile support.

🖥️ Quickstart — CLI

The fastest way to get started is the interactive CLI:

mskit

You'll be guided through two prompts:

Simu> random walk in Tokyo for 500 steps

Skip the prompts

mskit --brain untrained --mode custom
mskit --brain huggingface --mode everything
mskit --brain custom --model ./my-model.gguf --mode random

Start at a specific location

mskit --city tokyo
mskit --lat 51.5074 --lon -0.1278          # London

🖥️ CLI Subcommands

Beyond the interactive mode, the mskit command has dedicated subcommands:

mskit simu — Full interactive AI session

mskit simu

mskit run — One-shot simulation from the terminal

mskit run "water flow simulation in Zurich"
mskit run "projectile launched from Mount Fuji at 45 degrees"
mskit run "random walk in Singapore 300 steps"

mskit cameras — Traffic cameras near a location

mskit cameras --city singapore
mskit cameras --city london --radius 3
mskit cameras --lat 40.7128 --lon -74.0060      # New York City

Output:

🐍 Python API

1. Talk to Simu (plain English)

from mskit import Simu

simu = Simu()               # interactive brain + mode selection
# or skip the prompts:
simu = Simu(auto_select="untrained", auto_simmode="custom")

result = simu.chat("random walk in Tokyo for 300 steps")
print(result["output"])     # dict with sim results
print(result["intent"])     # what Simu understood

2. Load elevation data

from mskit import DEMLoader

dem = DEMLoader()                              # lazy — no download yet

# Single point
elev = dem.elevation_at(35.6762, 139.6503)    # Tokyo, metres
print(f"Elevation: {elev} m")

# 2D patch (returns numpy array)
patch = dem.patch(lat=51.5074, lon=-0.1278, radius_km=5)
print(patch.shape)   # (H, W) int16 array

# Elevation profile between two points
distances, elevations = dem.elevation_profile(
    lat1=35.36, lon1=138.73,   # Mount Fuji base
    lat2=35.36, lon2=138.80,
    steps=200,
)

3. Run simulations directly

from mskit import DEMLoader, RandomWalk, Projectile, WaterFlow, TerrainAgent

dem = DEMLoader()

# Slope-biased random walk
rw   = RandomWalk(dem, lat=35.6762, lon=139.6503, slope_bias=0.6)
path = rw.run(steps=500)
print(f"Distance: {path['total_distance_km']:.2f} km")
print(f"Elev gain: {path['elevation_gain_m']:.0f} m")

# Ballistic trajectory over real terrain
proj = Projectile(dem, lat=35.3606, lon=138.7274,   # Mount Fuji
                  elevation_deg=45, azimuth_deg=90, speed_ms=80)
traj = proj.run()
print(f"Range: {traj['range_km']:.2f} km  |  Max alt: {traj['max_altitude_m']:.0f} m")

# D8 water runoff routing
wf   = WaterFlow(dem, patch_km=10)
flow = wf.run(lat=47.3769, lon=8.5417)              # Zurich

# RL terrain agent
agent   = TerrainAgent(dem, 35.6762, 139.6503, 35.7300, 139.7400)
episode = agent.generate_episode(max_steps=300)
print(f"Steps taken: {episode['steps']}")

4. Query live traffic

from mskit import DEMLoader, TrafficRouter

router = TrafficRouter(DEMLoader())

info = router.traffic_at(51.5074, -0.1278)          # London
print(f"Speed      : {info.speed_kmh:.1f} km/h")
print(f"Congestion : {info.congestion_level}")
print(f"Source     : {info.source}")                # opentraffic / utd19 / synthetic

5. OpenCTV traffic cameras

from mskit import OpenCTVLayer

ctv = OpenCTVLayer()

# Cameras near a location
cameras = ctv.cameras_near(lat=1.3521, lon=103.8198, radius_km=3)
for cam in cameras:
    print(f"{cam.name} — {cam.distance_km(1.3521, 103.8198):.2f} km")
    print(f"  Image: {cam.image_url}")

# Full report (camera count + nearest)
report = ctv.traffic_report(lat=51.5074, lon=-0.1278, radius_km=5)
print(f"{report.camera_count} cameras found near London")
print(f"Nearest: {report.nearest.name}")

# Check if an area is covered by a live feed
source = ctv.covered_at(1.35, 103.82)              # 'lta_sg'
source = ctv.covered_at(0, 0)                      # None → synthetic fallback

# Refresh a camera snapshot URL (LTA refreshes every 20s)
fresh_url = ctv.snapshot(cameras[0])
