Scenario Architect Documentation

The Scenario Architect is a basic python tool to generate, import and export short concrete scenario intervals. These scenarios can then be used for safety assessment metric evaluations or other benchmarks.

Getting Started:

• Repository Overview
• Installation
• Launching the Software
  • Launching the Scenario Architect GUI
  • (Optional) Open a scenario file via command line
  • (Optional) Associate scenario files with the Scenario Architect
  • Common problems

Using the GUI:

• Basics
  • Selecting entities
  • Drawing entities
  • Manipulating existing entities
• Import and Export
  • Export a scenario
  • Import a scenario
  • Importing a track
• Scaling and Workspace Manipulation
• Visualizing and Manipulating Temporal Information
  • Visualize a specific timestamp
  • Modify the velocity profile of an entity
  • Static visualization of temporal information
• Working with the Automatically Generated Safety Rating
• Configuration

Post Creation Usage:

• Using Exported Scenarios in Your Project
  • Retrieving data for a specific timestamp
  • Retrieving track / map information
  • Retrieving vehicle dynamic parameters
  • Implementation guide
