Build Status Coverage Status Documentation Status

OpenCDA is a SIMULATION tool integrated with a prototype cooperative driving automation (CDA; see SAE J3216) pipeline as well as regular automated driving components (e.g., perception, localization, planning, control). The tool integrates automated driving simulation (CARLA), traffic simulation (SUMO), and Co-simulation (CARLA + SUMO).

OpenCDA is all in Python. In collaboration with U.S.DOT CDA Research and the FHWA CARMA Program, OpenCDA, as an open-source project, is designed and built to support initial algorithmic testing for CDA Features. Through collaboration with CARMA Collaborative, this tool provides a unique capability to the CDA research community and will interface with the CARMA XiL tools being developed by U.S.DOT to support more advanced simulation testing of CDA Features.

The key features of OpenCDA are:

  • Integration: OpenCDA utilizes CARLA and SUMO separately, as well as integrates them together.
  • Full-stack Simulation: OpenCDA provides a simple prototype automated driving and cooperative driving platform, all in Python, that contains perception, localization, planning, control, and V2X communication modules.
  • Modularity: OpenCDA is highly modularized.
  • Benchmark: OpenCDA offers benchmark testing scenarios, benchmark baseline maps, state-of-the-art benchmark algorithms, and benchmark evaluation metrics.
  • Connectivity and Cooperation: OpenCDA supports various levels and categories of cooperation between CAVs in simulation. This differentiates OpenCDA from other single vehicle simulation tools.

Users Guide

Note: We continuously improve the performance of OpenCDA. Currently, it is mainly tested in our customized maps and Carla town06 map; therefore, we DO NOT guarantee the same level of robustness in other maps.
