'''ASAM OpenDRIVE''' is an open format specification to describe a road network's logic. Its objective is to standardize the logical road description to facilitate the data exchange between different driving simulators.

The initial release of ASAM OpenDRIVE was version 0.7 in 2005, as of AugustNovember 20212023 the current release is version 1.78.0.<ref>{{Citation

==Overview==

OpenDRIVE files are designed to describe entire road networks with respect to allthe data belonging to the road environment. They do not describe the entities acting on or interacting with the road. The OpenDRIVE data is made available to e.g. Vehicle Dynamics and Traffic Simulation via a layer of routines for the evaluation of the information contained in the OpenDRIVE file.

OpenDRIVE is managed by VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH and the OpenDRIVE community. The OpenDRIVE standard is reviewed and released by a core team of driving simulation experts. With the publication in 2006 members of [[BMW]] Forschung und Technik GmbH, [[Daimler AG]], [[German Aerospace Center|DLR]] e.V., [[Fraunhofer Society|Fraunhofer-Institut]] IVI, [[Krauss-Maffei Wegmann]] GmbH & Co. KG, [[Rheinmetal]] Defence Electronics GmbH and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH joined the initiative. The associated website maintained by VIRES GmbH is intended to be the focal point for all activities involving OpenDRIVE.

Considering applications with a demand to road surface description, OpenDRIVE refers to special data structures holding these surface data. [[OpenCRG]], the microscopic brother, is available taking care of the provision and evaluation of road surface descriptions. An implementation of OpenCRG into the OpenDRIVE file format specification has already been established in January 2008.<ref>{{Cite news

=== Founders ===

The OpenDRIVE initiative was started in 2005 by [[Daimler AG|Daimler]] Driving Simulator, Stuttgart and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH. With the publication of the initiative in 2006, other companies joined OpenDRIVE. In September 2018 OpenDrive was transferred to ASAM<ref>{{Citation

and is now continued under the name of ASAM OpenDRIVE.

===Core Team===

The OpenDRIVE standard is reviewed and released by a core team of driving simulation experts. The team members as of January 2010 are (alphabetical order by company):

* Martin Strobl -– [[BMW]] Forschung und Technik GmbH

* Hans Grezlikowski -– [[Daimler AG]], Germany

* Andreas Richter -– [[Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt]] e.V., Germany

* Dr. Günther Nirschl -– [[Fraunhofer-Institut]] IVI, Germany

* Ekkehard Klärner -– [[Krauss-Maffei Wegmann]] GmbH & Co. KG, Germany

* Dr. Bernhard Bock -– [[Rheinmetall]] Electronics GmbH, Germany

* Ingmar Stel -– [[Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research|TNO]], the Netherlands

* Marius Dupuis -– VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH, Germany

* Mats Lidström -– VTI, Sweden

=== Further Development at ASAM e.V. ===

In September 2018, OpenDRIVE was transferred to [[Association for Standardisation of Automation and Measuring Systems|ASAM e.V.]] (Association for Standardization of Automation and Measuring Systems) where it is being further developed under the name of ASAM OpenDRIVE®. With this step, the core team ensured a reliable, independent and long-term development and maintenance of the standard in a professional setting. ASAM is also the organization behind a wide range of other global standards in automotive, among them [[OpenCRG|ASAM OpenCRG®]], ASAM OpenSCENARIO®, ASAM OSI® and ASAM OpenLABEL®, which are aiming to advance the validation of autonomous driving functions through simulation.

==Features==

The OpenDRIVE file format provides the following features:

* [[XML]] format, hierarchical structure

* analytical definition of road geometry (plane elements, elevation, crossfall, lane width etc.)

* hierarchical structure

* analytical definition of road geometry

* (plane elements, elevation, crossfall, lane width etc.)

* various types of lanes

* junctions incl. priorities

Line 95 ⟶ 94:

* road and road-side objects

* user-definable data beads

* etc.

==Tools==

The evaluationEvaluation of the logics data can be simplified by using a library, which can be linked to various applications and serves as the standard interface between the OpenDRIVE data contained in the XML files and the evaluation of the road data within the application. Tools for OpenDRIVE which are available via the website of VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH or linked sites of partners include:

Further tools from different vendors can be found in the [https://www.asam.net/members/product-directory/?tx_solr%5Bfilter%5D%5B0%5D=productsStandards%3AASAM+OpenDRIVE%C2%AE product directory] of ASAM e.V. Also, [https://github.com/benediktschwab/awesome-openx Awesome OpenX] contains a list of open-source frameworks as well as openly available datasets.

===File Format Checker===

* As the OpenDRIVE format is based on XML, validation can be performed via the [[XML Schema (W3C)|Schema]] files available on the [http://www.opendrive.org/download.html OpenDRIVE website].
