The rounD 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.

Method

The rounD dataset introduces a fresh compilation of natural road user trajectory data from German roundabouts, gathered using drone technology to navigate past usual challenges such as occlusions inherent in traditional traffic data collection methods. It includes traffic data from three unique locations, capturing the movement and categorizing each road user by type. Advanced computer vision algorithms are applied to ensure high positional accuracy. This dataset is highly adaptable for a variety of applications, including predicting road user behavior, driver modeling, scenario-based safety evaluations for automated driving systems, and the data-driven creation of Highly Automated Driving (HAD) system components.

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
  • 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.

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 rounD 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 inD 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.
