153. Follower Vehicle evaluation scenario

In the follower_vehicle evaluation scenario, the vehicle_actor drives behind the Ego in the same lane, and the Ego drives ahead of it.

Scenario location: $FTX/logiq/scenario_library_post_match/follower_vehicle/follower_vehicle

153.1 Actors

The actors associated with this scenario are as follows:

Actor Description Type Depiction
ego Vehicle under test vehicle
vehicle_actor Follower vehicle vehicle
Figure 1: Follower vehicle

153.2 Scenario phases

The phase descriptions are as follows:

153.2.1 follower_vehicle

Ego: The Ego drives in one lane.

vehicle_actor: The vehicle_actor drives behind the Ego in the same lane, maintaining a distance from the Ego in the range between min_distance_from_sut_in_time_units and max_distance_from_sut_in_time_units during the entire phase.

153.3 Configuration parameters

Use these parameters to constrain the scenario. If you do not set a specific value, the default value will be used.

Parameter Type Unit Description Default value
lane_calculation_tolerance_length length m Tolerance of lane calculation gives tolerance advantage to return true from keep_lane() 1m
same_road_limit time s Time threshold for the vehicle_actor to be considered as driving on the same road as the Ego 10s
min_scenario_duration time s Minimum time of the follower_vehicle scenario 1s

Parameter Type Unit Description Default value
min_distance_from_sut_in_time_units time s Minimum headway distance between the Ego and the vehicle actor 0s
max_distance_from_sut_in_time_units time s Maximum headway distance between the Ego and the vehicle actor 5s

153.6 Usage

Import the post-match scenario top file and register the matcher in a match: block, overriding only the parameters you need. Any omitted parameters use the defaults listed in Configuration parameters.

The matcher is also available through the shared post-match import bundle:

  • $FTX/logiq/customers/base/osc/post_match_scenarios.osc
  • $FTX/evaluate/library/scenarios/scenario_library_post_match.osc (evaluation builds).
OSC2 code: follower_vehicle post-match scenario usage
import "$FTX/logiq/scenario_library_post_match/follower_vehicle/follower_vehicle/follower_vehicle_top.osc"

# The following example imports the top file and overrides six parameters:

match:
    follower_vehicle: sut.follower_vehicle(lane_calculation_tolerance_length: 1m,
                                           same_road_limit: 10s,
