leveLXData – Real-World Scenario Data
The Intersection Drone Dataset
Naturalistic Trajectories of Vehicles and Vulnerable Road Users Recorded at German Intersections

About the Dataset

The inD dataset is a new dataset of naturalistic vehicle trajectories recorded at German intersections. Using a drone, typical limitations of established traffic data collection methods like occlusions are overcome. Traffic was recorded at four different locations. The trajectory for each road user and its type is extracted. Using state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms, the positional error is typically less than 10 centimetres. The dataset is applicable on many tasks such as road user prediction, driver modeling, scenario-based safety validation of automated driving systems or data-driven development of HAD system components.

The inD dataset was created and published by a team from the Institute for Automotive Engineering (ika) of RWTH Aachen University to promote research in many different domains of mobility. The dataset can therefore be downloaded and used free of charge for academic and research purposes.

    Analysis

    The leveLXData team can provide or support your analyses, evaluations and also parameterization of models on the basis of the data.

    Individual Solutions

    leveLXData can tailor a dataset for your requirement, either from an extensive database or based on new traffic recordings along your needs.

    More Datasets

    In addition to the inD dataset, we used the same methodlogy to create more datasets. Specifically, the highD dataset covers trajectories of vehicles on German highways. The interactions of vehicles at entries and exits of German highways are captured in the exiD 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.
