Real-world traffic scenarios for ADAS & AD validation
Every road user is a potential ego vehicle.
ADSS turns continuous roadside camera video into classified, simulation-ready traffic scenarios — thousands per hour from a single observation point, delivered in ASAM OpenSCENARIO and OpenDRIVE.
The problem
More synthetic scenarios will not close the evidence gap.
-
Synthetic scenarios drift from reality.
Generation gives you scale and variation, but frequencies, parameter distributions and relevance can disconnect from what actually happens on real roads.
-
Vehicle sensors miss the interaction.
Ego-mounted perception is excellent for the ego — and blind to everything occluded around it.
-
Simulated traffic is too polite.
Rule-based NPCs do not reproduce human latency, yielding or unpredictable braking.
The solution
Real traffic, turned into evidence.
One static camera. Six steps. A searchable scenario database instead of a folder of video files.
-
Camera stream
Live video from crossings and highways, 24/7.
-
Tracking
Every road user detected, classified and tracked.
-
Ground projection
Image tracks become road-level trajectories.
-
Scenario builder
Trajectories combined with the road model into OpenSCENARIO.
-
Classifier
Manoeuvre types and critical-event tags.
-
Scenario database
Filter by road user, manoeuvre, criticality and location.
What you get
-
7 road-user classes
Cars, vans, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians. Any of them can be the ego.
-
Criticality built in
Minimum time-to-collision, distance to critical objects, trajectory curvature.
-
Corner cases found, not guessed
Similar events clustered into scenario families; outliers flagged.
-
Open standards
ASAM OpenSCENARIO, OpenDRIVE and OpenCRG; works with esmini and IPG CarMaker.
Who it is for
-
OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers
Ground your scenario catalogue in observed statistics and show that a function was tested against real, local traffic.
Technology -
Simulation and test service providers
Add location-specific scenario coverage to regression testing, imported straight into your existing toolchain.
Technology -
Camera and infrastructure owners
Turn existing roadside cameras into a source of high-value traffic analysis.
Traffic Intelligence
Beyond replay
Traffic that reacts.
A recording shows what happened once. Validation asks what happens if the ego brakes harder, arrives earlier or swerves. We are building local traffic behaviour models from observed data, so surrounding traffic responds to the ego instead of replaying a script.
