163. Lead Vehicle evaluation scenario

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

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

163.1 Actors

The actors associated with this scenario are as follows:

Actor Description Type Depiction
ego Vehicle under test vehicle
vehicle_actor Vehicle driving ahead of the Ego in the same lane vehicle
Figure 1: Lead vehicle

163.2 Scenario phases

The phase descriptions are as follows: Ego: The Ego drives in the same lane at a speed above ego_vehicle_min_moving_speed and maintains its position within the lane_departure_threshold tolerance.

163.3 Configuration parameters

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

same_road_limit time s Time threshold for the vehicle_actor to be considered as driving on the same road as the Ego 10s
minimum_time_gap_threshold time s Minimum time gap for a vehicle to qualify as the lead_vehicle 0.1s
minimum_distance_threshold length m Minimum distance for a vehicle to qualify as the lead_vehicle 1m

maximum_time_gap_threshold_end time s Maximum time gap for a vehicle to qualify as the lead_vehicle for the end condition 10s
maximum_distance_threshold_end length m Maximum distance for a vehicle to qualify as the lead_vehicle for the end condition 100m

163.6 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).
