The Eclipse openPASS Working Group is managing the Eclipse project openPASS – bringing together industry leaders to advance open-source traffic simulation.
The Eclipse openPASS Working Group is managing the Eclipse project openPASS.
OpenPASS provides a software platform that enables the simulation of traffic scenarios to predict the real-world effectiveness of advanced driver assistance systems or automated driving systems.
Safety relevant aspects of traffic, such as infrastructural elements or behavioural characteristics, are investigated with this platform. The platform can run entirely flexible multi-agent simulations which include stochastic variation as well as reproducibility. The flexibility is achieved by outsourcing to dynamic libraries (so called modules) all models defining the traffic scenario or behaviour of traffic participants. Additionally, to the platform, demonstrator modules are provided, which comprise simple traffic scenarios and behaviours of traffic participants as well as a collision model to answer basic research questions. OpenPASS users can incorporate their own developed modules and post processing applications; this allows them to answer a wide variety of their specific research questions. These questions are related to development, testing and rating of vehicle systems. Possible users can be automotive OEMs, suppliers, public transport authorities, consumer protection organizations, insurance companies, academia and legislation.
The Eclipse openPASS Working Group was founded in August 2016. The idea of openPASS was generated from the P.E.A.R.S. initiative.
Former members of the Eclipse openPASS Working Group were ITK Engineering GmbH, Toyota Motors Europe and TÜV SÜD Auto Service GmbH.
