Method

The exiD dataset introduces a groundbreaking collection of naturalistic road user trajectories at highway entries and exits in Germany, meticulously captured with drones to navigate past the limitations of conventional traffic data collection methods, such as occlusions. This approach not only allows for the precise extraction of each road user’s trajectory and type but also ensures very high positional accuracy, thanks to sophisticated computer vision algorithms. Its innovative data collection technique minimizes errors and maximizes the quality and reliability of the dataset, making it a valuable resource for advanced research and development in the field of automated driving technologies.

What’s included?

  • Georeferenced trajectory data (e.g. position, heading, lat./long. velocity/acceleration)
  • Recording Meta Information (e.g. frame rate, gps of location or # of objects)
  • Track Meta Information (e.g. road user type, size and class)
  • One digital map representation for each location in
    • OpenDRIVE format including 3D information (fbx & osgb)
    • Lanelet2 format
  • Map-based enriched data (e.g. surrounding vehicles and lane related values)
  • One aerial photograph of each location without road users

Digital Maps **NEW**

Our dataset includes detailed high-definition maps, enabling the analysis of trajectories in relation to the infrastructure. It supports both ASAM OpenDRIVE and Lanelet2 formats for comprehensive compatibility. Furthermore, these maps facilitate the seamless integration of our trajectory data into prominent simulation tools. To enhance this integration, we provide 3D environments corresponding to the maps in all major formats, including *.osgb and *.fbx, among others.

Supplementary Data

In addition to the trajectory data, we incorporate additional details such as lane identifiers, surrounding vehicles, key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time-to-collision (TTC) and time-headway (THW), as well as lane coordinate data using our advanced enrichment algorithms. The enhancement process utilizes the provided opendrive and lanelet maps as a foundation.

Applications

This dataset is incredibly versatile, serving a wide range of applications including road user prediction, driver behavior modeling, scenario-based safety validation for automated driving systems, and the development of components for Highly Automated Driving (HAD) systems. Its utility spans from enhancing the understanding of driving dynamics to supporting the refinement and innovation of autonomous vehicle technologies, thereby contributing significantly to advancements in the field of automated driving.

    More Datasets

    In addition to the exiD dataset, we used the same methodlogy to create more datasets. Specifically, the highD dataset covers trajectories of vehicles on German highways. The highly interactive behavior of road users at urban intersections is captured in the inD dataset.

    The rounD dataset contains trajectories of road users at roundabouts in Germany. Similarly the uniD dataset covers the behavior of road users at the RWTH Aachen University Campus. Find out more about these datasets on the individual websites.
