An open-source full-stack software based on ROS framework, for self-driving applications. Targeting to facilitate the research in
autonomous driving projects for low-speed applications in urban environments. This software comes with a built-in Gazebo based
simulation, an end-to-end self-driving software and a user-friendly GUI to facilitate launching of the software.
Used for trials on real-world automated vehicles.
- Graphics User Interface (GUI) with integrated ROS tools
- Docker and Source Code installation
- Multiple Sensors Drivers
- IPG CarMaker simulation integration
- High level supervisor node, monitoring the heath of the system and publishing diagnostics
- Object Detection using LiDAR and Radar
- Emergency stop reaction
- Vehicle Interface acting as a bridge between ROS and the embedded vehicle controllers.
- PID/Feedforward linear velocity feedback loop
- Tunable yaw to steering percentage conversion map
- Integrated Gazebo simulation model
- 3 ways of simulation control: Aslan software, keyboard and joystick controllers
- Normal Distribution Transform (NDT)* for localization and mapping
- Voxel Grid and Ground Removal * point cloud filtering
- Route planning using waypoints *
- Path Planning based on A* Planner
- Comprehensive documentation of the source code in the repo and inside the GUI
- Online tutorials
- Quick start resources: rosbag, point cloud map and waypoints csv
*Originally suggested at autoware.ai, tag: 1.10.0.
These packages have been configured and modified significantly to fit the requirements of Project ASLAN.

Follow the instructions here
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/project-aslan/Aslan.git
# if you haven't initialized and updated the submodules with --recurse-submodules when cloning, do:
cd Aslan/
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd Aslan
rosdep install -y --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO
catkin init
From the root of your catkin workspace, run
catkin_make
If you have previously built your workspace with catkin build:
Either clean your workspace with catkin clean and rebuild with catkin_make
To start the Project ASLAN GUI, simply execute the bash script:
./run
Aslan (melodic version) has been modified to work with the CarMaker simulation. More information and instructions on how to run Aslan with CarMaker can be found here: https://github.com/IPG-Automotive-UK/Aslan-CarMaker. The vehicles in CarMaker can be controlled from the Aslan stack by following the tutorials below.

Project Aslan has been inspired by and was built on top of the Autoware Foundation’s open-source projects. In particular, a number of fundamental technologies have been adopted from Autoware.AI. With StreetDrone’s customisations for its electric vehicle and integration with other third-party drivers, Project Aslan immensely benefits from the Autoware’s projects and the Autoware Foundation members’ contributions.
