Global Life Sim Puts You Behind the Wheel of East London
A browser driving simulator built from aerial photogrammetry, OpenStreetMap roads, and real Royal Docks petrol stations.
Field notes
The project maps Royal Docks, Woolwich, and Beckton using aerial photogrammetry for terrain and OpenStreetMap for roads, junctions, and one-way rules. Its simulation layer adds practical constraints: the fuel tank empties, collisions cost the player, kerbs and walls block movement, and abandoned cars are towed. The page identifies 159 mapped petrol stations and places the waiting car on Fishguard Way. Manchester is described as in progress, while Barcelona is listed as planned.
