25. Lane change

The lane_change scenario is used to evaluate the Ego's lane change maneuver. It is inherited from lane_change_family_base.

Scenario location: $FTX/env/nvidia/nvdx_lib/ftlx/lane_change_family/lane_change

There are no input parameters

25.2 Metrics

Metrics collected are given below:

25.2.1 Coverage

[Click] The coverage items inherited from the sut.lane_change_family_base scenario are as follows:
Item Description Range Unit/Type
ftlx_number_of_lanes_at_start Total number of lanes in the same direction available at lane change initiation [1..7), every: 1.0 int
ftlx_number_of_lanes_at_end Total number of lanes in the same direction available at lane change completion [1..7), every: 1.0 int
ftlx_lane_change_side Direction of lane change based on lateral displacement relative to the curb, independent of lane indices. inner_side indicates movement away from the curb, towards the road center, while outer_side indicates movement towards the curb. The lane change side is determined by the lateral displacement of the Ego relative to the curb. inner_side, outer_side lane_mark_side
ftlx_ego_start_lane_position Starting lane position (innermost, outermost, middle) innermost, outermost, middle lane_relative_side
ftlx_ego_end_lane_position Destination lane position (innermost, outermost, middle) innermost, outermost, middle lane_relative_side
ftlx_lane_change_duration The duration of the lane change interval [2..10), every: 1.0 s
ftlx_ego_max_lat_acceleration Highest absolute lateral acceleration during lane change [0..5), every: 1.0 mpsps
ftlx_ego_std_dev_lat_acceleration Higher standard deviations indicate rougher maneuvering [0..5), every: 1.0 mpsps
ftlx_ego_std_dev_speed Higher standard deviations indicate significant speed changes during the lane change [0..10), every: 1.0 kph
ftlx_ego_lat_displacement_during_lane_change Lateral distance relative to the initial positioning of the Ego on the lane [1..10), every: 1.0 m
[Click] The coverage items inherited from the sut.nvdx_lib_base scenario are as follows:
Item Description Range Unit/Type
ftlx_ego_speed_at_start Initial speed of the Ego at the start of the scenario [0..150), every: 10.0 kph
ftlx_ego_speed_at_end Final speed of the Ego at the end of the scenario [0..150), every: 10.0 kph
ftlx_ego_lane_width_at_start Width of the Ego's lane at the start of the scenario [2..5), every: 0.5 m
ftlx_ego_lane_width_at_end Width of the Ego's lane at the end of the scenario [2..5), every: 0.5 m
ftlx_ego_min_speed Minimum speed of the Ego during the scenario [0..150), every: 10.0 kph
ftlx_ego_max_speed Maximum speed of the Ego during the scenario [0..150), every: 10.0 kph
ftlx_ego_avg_speed Average speed of the Ego during the scenario [0..150), every: 10.0 kph
ftlx_ego_min_lon_acceleration Maximum deceleration of the Ego during the scenario [-10..0), every: 1.0 mpsps
ftlx_ego_max_lon_acceleration Maximum acceleration of the Ego during the scenario [0..20), every: 1.0 mpsps
ftlx_ego_maneuver_family L0 maneuver family of the Ego none, change_lane, drive_in_lane, keep_long_distance, merge_diverge_handling, nav_intersection, nudge, nav_construction maneuver_family_type
