For testing and Validation of advanced driver assistant systems and automated driving Simulation is used. The complex systems under test do not only need precise and detailed modeling of the road but also a growing amount of information about the environment, too. ASAM OpenDRIVE is fulfilling the task for the road description becoming a de-facto Standard in the automotive industry.

 

The Standard CityGML issued by the international Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is the most commonly used format for storing, modeling and exchanging semantic 3d environments. Highly accurate geo-referenced, geometric and topological information as well as semantic capabilities are key strengths of CityGML. 

 

Compared to OpenDRIVE, CityGML follows a completely different geometric modelling approach based on discrete areas using explicit coordinates. Combining the reference-line-based ASAM OpenDRIVE with OGC's CityGML represents a transformative approach to road space modeling for advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving.

 

The proposal for this concept project is to re-think the road modeling approach incorporating requirements of automotive domain.

  • Use CityGML strength to model a semantic 3d environment
  • Define a compact standard based on OpenDRIVE 1.x to model road logics
  • Define a linkage concept to meet requirements of the whole simulation domain and improve interoperability between GIS and automotive domain
  • Re-use the linkage concept to connect to additional relevant road information
