Realistic Traffic — smarter and more lively AI traffic for BeamNG.drive

Tired of AI traffic that weaves in single file and never overtakes? Realistic Traffic gives each AI car its own driver with its own character and teaches them to drive the way real people do.

CHARACTERS OF THE DRIVERS
Each AI car gets its own driver: cautious, ordinary, aggressive or extremely aggressive. The combination depends on the car: a 60-horsepower city car is most often driven calmly, while a 600-horsepower supercar is more likely to hit the floor. Each driver chooses their own speed, so that two identical cars don't drive the same way.

OVERTAKING ON MULTI-LANE ROADS
Fast drivers no longer sit behind slow cars. They check the next lane, change lanes, overtake at full throttle, and come back as soon as the slow car is left behind.

OVERTAKING IN THE OPPOSITE LANE
On two-lane roads, AI drivers can enter the oncoming lane to overtake. They evaluate visibility, oncoming traffic, and how fast their car can actually accelerate before starting a maneuver. If something goes wrong, they stop overtaking and hide back behind the car they were overtaking.

FLASHING LIGHTS AND GIVING WAY
Aggressive drivers stuck behind a slow car in a fast lane flash their lights, and the car in front reacts and shifts to the right to let them pass. Drivers may blink at a slow car that is in their way, even in the middle of overtaking.

AND OTHER THINGS

Extremely aggressive drivers avoid slow cars, shifting into the free lane on the right.

Trucks and buses behave like trucks and buses: they never overtake.

Balanced Traffic: The game will split traffic across all power classes, from small city cars to supercars.

Faster and more decisive acceleration for AI traffic.

IN-GAME MENU
Press "-" (minus key) to open a small menu. Turn each function on and off, force the composition of the drivers (all cautious, all aggressive, 50/50...) and show the character of each driver above the car. Your settings are saved.

BeamNG. drive 0.40 is required. It works with the game's own traffic system: no additional configuration is needed.
Note: This mod modifies the AI driver code, so it may not work with other mods that also change AI.
