DSPACE COLLABORATES WITH B-DESIGN3D TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES THROUGH SIMULATION

dSPACE has integrated a new, 3-D urban environment produced by B-Design3D into the latest release of AURELION, dSPACE’s solution for sensor-realistic simulation, allowing the integration of top-grade visualization and cutting-edge, realistic sensors into processes to develop and validate autonomous driving functions.

This 3-D Environment is available with the latest AURELION Release for immediate use. It allows users to exploit the latest features of AURELION including material properties for all sensor types as well as ground-truth information like semantic segmentation and bounding boxes.

The 3-D Environment created by B-Design3D was designed to be highly representative of a typical downtown city block in major metro areas. The 3-D visual database is modular and can be expanded by integrating additional city blocks. It is optimized to provide the highest level of realism, including all traffic signs and road markings on the asphalt, while still maintaining peak rendering performance.

The 3-D visual database is delivered with a parallel OpenDrive layer which contains the logical description of the traffic rules, allowing for traffic simulation and advanced ADAS/AD scenario generation.
