Data Source and Processing

This repository is based on the f1 racketrack database which includes the racetrack information (inner bounds, outer bounds, track width) of 20 real racetracks all around the world. The original center lines on the real racetracks were fetched as GPS points from the OpenStreetMap project (https://www.openstreetmap.org). We applied a smoothing algorithm to the center lines. The track widths were extracted from satellite images using an image processing algorithm. Afterwards the data was downscaled 1:10 with a fixed track width of 2,20m so it can be used in the F1TENTH environments.

Content and Data Format

  • maps: The tracks are displayed as occupancy grid maps based on a .pgm or .png file. That maps have a correspondong .yaml file that includes both resolution and origin of the maps. These maps can be used in both the F1TENTH Gym and the F1TENTH Simulator.
  • waypoints: [x_m, y_m, w_tr_right_m, w_tr_left_m] These files contain the center line (x, y) and the track widths to the right (w_tr_right) and left (w_tr_left). The center lines were smoothed. Therefore, they do not lie perfectly in the middle of the track anymore.

The quality of the source data (GPS points and satellite images) varies greatly depending on the location. Accordingly, the quality of the results varies as well. Please bear this in mind and check whether the accuracy is sufficient for the desired application.
