MAP creation without using RoadRunner

[arvindpalkyutech]

Can I make a Map in CARLA without RoadRunner just using opendrive file. Actually I want to make same Map in CARLA as in OpenStreetMap. I can export OpenStreetMap to Opendrive format using SUMO simulator. Can Anyone guide me how to make fbx file and use it to create MAP in CARLA.

I also have the same problem

I use CityEngine to generate OpenStreetMap (.osm file) + fbx file And convert osm file to OpenDrive (.xodr) by SUMO However, in Carla MapBuilder is WIP, so importing the files currently cannot work...

Thank You Patrik for this very useful information.

I have had the same problem before, but I have not tried it yet.This is a reply from a former classmate.

OpenDrive is not a commercial format, but software to generate .xodr seems to be commercial in many cases. This link may be the best open source I've found : https://gitlab.com/OpenRoadEd/OpenRoadEd.

Thank You xiaoyang thesis was worth reading.

@PatrickFSLin That's a good idea. But the algorithm of sumo and carla is different. Maybe when the file type is converted into .xodr by sumo,the .xodr ‘s geometry is paramPoly3，however，the geometry of carla’s .xodr is Arc and Line. In my opinion,we should realize the format conversion between paramPoly3 and Arc，Line.

@0102TH That's a good suggestion. Either we realize the format conversion between ParamPoly3 and Arc/Line or ParamPoly3 is directly supported in Carla (that is also my reason of waiting for the new update of Carla).

@PatrickFSLin Thank you for your reply, this is very useful. Are there any easy-to-use open source tools for conversion of paramPoly3 and Arc/Line? I want to create a map on the highway. At present, Roadrunner seems to be unable to try the software. I can only change it on the original map of carla.

Hello guys ,

Thank you for sharing your experiences .

I would like to accomplish the same : convert an OSM map to xodr / Fbx files for Carla .
Is there any update since 2 weeks ?

@PatrickFSLin and @0102TH did you manage to do the conversion ?

Thank you in advance for sharing . :)

Now It support the conversion, I'll test it for I have the same problem.

Hi @PatrickFSLin ,

• What are supporting exporting extensions using City Engine?
• Do you think - It's good to use City Engine for Carla Maps (OSM , FBX formats )?
• Have you found any other tools (except Road Runner & City Engine) for making Carla maps?

Are there any news? I am also trying creating maps without Roadrunner...
