Projects

Background

There are two new projects planned to further develop ASAM OpenSCENARIO: one project to develop version 1.x and a second project to develop version 2.0. They are parallel development projects for ASAM OpenSCENARIO, structured to converge to one version in the future.

1.x provides a very concrete scenario description format, usable now, that will be directly compatible with the 2.0 project. OpenSCENARIO 2.0 provides a Domain Specific Language (DSL) and aims to significantly extend the domain addressed by 1.x to cover further use cases for AD development. The two groups will also jointly develop a migration mechanism that grants unchanged run-time behaviour for OpenSCENARIO 1.x scenarios converted to OpenSCENARIO 2.0.

ASAM has hosted a webinar to present the developments in OpenSCENARIO both the release of ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.0.0 and the ASAM OpenSCENARIO Concept paper.   Read more

Project Detail

The ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0 project is aimed at taking the concepts specified in the OpenSCENARIO concept document (releasing after Mar 12) and continue and develop the next generation of the OpenSCENARIO A public specification, which has been developed by experts in a defined consensus-driven development process and was released by officials that represent a significant share of the industry for which it is targeted, giving the specification the necessary legitimacy to be called a 'Standard'.standard: OpenSCENARIO 2.0. A rough estimate is that the development of such a A public specification, which has been developed by experts in a defined consensus-driven development process and was released by officials that represent a significant share of the industry for which it is targeted, giving the specification the necessary legitimacy to be called a 'Standard'.standard can be achieved within a year, aiming at release in Q2 of 2021.

Based on the considerations of the concept group, OpenSCENARIO 2.0 is proposed to be founded on the concept of a domain-specific language, that should support all levels of scenario description, from the very abstract to the very concrete in a suitable way. 

The OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concepts take proven features and capabilities of OpenSCENARIO 1.0, like its event-based scenario execution model, and place them in a more general and expressive language framework, to serve as the foundation for both incremental improvements and more revolutionary enhancements.

In comparison to OpenSCENARIO 1.0, a more detailed set of actions and attributes for the relevant Is the process of imitation of the behavior of a modeled real-world system over time.simulation models shall be defined to allow for a more comprehensive scenario description and to improve exchangeability. This is addressed by the introduction of a domain model.

Beyond such improvements, the proposed domain-specific language supports the creation of more complex scenarios through flexible composition and parametrization of component scenarios in ways that allow realistic, emergent behavior to occur. This is expected to enable massive testing and The process of determining that a system meets defined specifications, technical or regulatory requirements.verification of new, complex hardware and software systems, and their interaction with the complex environment of driving.

The concept group believes that the proposed concepts and direction will enable OpenSCENARIO 2.0 to supply a step-function in its ability to describe full, complex simulations and/or tests, addressing all the required elements, and utilizing existing building blocks (like OpenDRIVE or OpenCRG).

In order to leverage investments in OpenSCENARIO 1.0, a clear migration path and compatibility concept is part of the overall OpenSCENARIO 2.0 concepts.
