ASAM International Conference 2026
Date: November 04, 2026 - November 05, 2026
Location: House of Communication
Bridging road models
Workshop on HD Maps and Road Space Modeling
Organized by the Open Geospacial Consortium
on: Nov 03, 2026 | 9:00 - 16:30 CEST
at: House of Communication (on-site only)
The day prior to the ASAM International Conference, OGC and ASAM will host a joint full-day workshop to convene the communities behind today's complementary and overlapping road-space models: ASAM OpenDRIVE, OGC CityGML (Transportation), the OGC Transportation/Mobility Domain Working Group, and the emerging HDML initiative. The day is built around live demonstrations in the morning, a discussion of interface standards in the afternoon, and a final hour dedicated to concrete next steps and named owners.
Why this matters
ASAM OpenDRIVE has been an extraordinary success and now serves a wider range of use cases than its original scope foresaw. ASAM's recent decision to consolidate the format rather than continue layering new features onto it opens the door to a connected ecosystem in which ASAM OpenDRIVE remains excellent at its core purpose while complementary standards cover what naturally falls outside the carriageway. An ASAM working group is already prototyping the coupling between ASAM OpenDRIVE and CityGML through shared identifier references. The workshop is the moment to broaden that conversation to the wider community, validate the approach with industry voices, and position ASAM as the driver of a coordinated path forward.

What we want to achieve
Mutual understanding across the OGC and ASAM communities of why each road space model looks the way it does, and where each is heading.
Proof that the coupling between ASAM OpenDRIVE and CityGML works in practice, on a real dataset, in Simulation software.
A small set of agreed next actions with named owners, and an ongoing joint testing rhythm so integration questions surface in practice rather than in theory.
