Scenario Tool Summary

  • [CI/CD pipeline] cloud
    • For the official Autoware Foundation projects like Cargo Delivery
    • The user guide in the ODD working group Google Driver
    • As it consumes AWS resource, the (batch) execution of the scenario simulation is managed by the ASWG lead.

    • For other projects than the official Autoware Foundation projects like Cargo Delivery
    • The documentation of the Scenario Testing Framework (OSSed from Tier IV) is on GitHub
      • The GUI Scenario editor. (You can create and export scenarios with this web interface.) (You can test run (preview) the scenarios you created and exported using the scenario editor.)
      • You can install the framework (the primary tool for scenario generation in ODD working group) by following the tutorial page. ('Build Instructions (Native mode)' is recommended. One caveat is that you need Ubuntu 20.04 for this 'Native mode' installation of the scenario test runner, etc.)
