I just stumbled over the lane change direction in the TrafficCommand message:
// Targeted lane relative to the current lane.
//
// Convention: +1 means to the right, -1 means to the left.
//
optional int32 relative_target_lane = 2;
Ask your question
Isn't this convention quite counter-intuitive?
When thinking about this, I encounter at least two examples, where this is confusing:
Usually vehicle coordinate systems use a coordinate system where the y-axis points to left in driving direction.
In OpenDRIVE, the lane numbering is the other way around (and also within the LaneChangeAction in OpenSCENARIO, I guess).
Notes
The last changes according to git blame came from you, @pmai and @ThomasNaderBMW. Probably you could help me understand why the direction was defined this way? Thanks in advance!
