OpenDRIVE started in 2005 as a standardization initiative of Daimler AG Driving Simulator and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH, both companies located in Germany. It made its first public appearance in 2006 and is since supported by a constantly growing user community in the driving simulation industry.
OpenDRIVE is an open file format, based on XML, which focuses on the logical description of road networks. It allows for the exact description of simulated roads using the same elements that are being applied to real roads (lines, curves, clothoids, (super-)elevation profiles, signals etc. ). It is compatible with right- and left-hand driving rules and can be localized in terms of signaling features.
OpenDRIVE is a mature format which has proven its usability in numerous driving simulation solutions like vehicle dynamics, traffic simulation, scenario simulation etc. The format is managed by a core team of international driving simulation experts who harmonize and translate incoming user requirements into regular updates of the format.
The OpenDRIVE user meeting 2011 will be held during imagina. This combination is seen as a great opportunity not only to continue the development of OpenDRIVE but also to increase its coverage from pure driving simulation solutions to other applications which also require an excellent representation of realistic road networks (e.g. town and country planning projects). The user meeting will be open to imagina conference delegates.
Along with current users of OpenDRIVE everyone else with a prospective new application of the format will be very welcome.
