Spiral Geometries?

[stonier]

Description

• Expected behavior: xodr would load
• Actual behavior: failed with a message stating spiral geometries weren't supported

Steps to reproduce

With #259 I was trying to dump to obj file a new .xodr, SmallTownRoads.xodr:

bazel run //:xodr_to_obj -- --xodr-file=${PWD}/resources/SmallTownRoads.xodr --out-dir=${PWD}

Output

INFO: Analyzed target //:xodr_to_obj (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).
INFO: Found 1 target...
Target //:xodr_to_obj up-to-date:

@stonier Spiral geometries is an OpenDrive feature we are not supporting yet Check here for the parser capabilities: https://github.com/maliput/maliput_malidrive/blob/main/src/maliput_malidrive/xodr/README.md

We can give it priority in order to support this kind of plan view geometry.

We would need:

• [x] Enable XODR parser to parse spiral geometries https://github.com/maliput/maliput_malidrive/pull/261
• [x] Create ground curve for Spiral: ground_curve.h
• [x] Add tests at serveral level: lane / road geometry

aye, make it a priority.
