Welcome to the World of OpenDRIVE^®!

- setting standards since 2006 -

OpenDRIVE^® is an open file format for the logical description of road networks. It was developed and is being maintained by a team of simulation professionals with large support from the simulation industry. Its first public appearance was on January 31, 2006.

Why use OpenDRIVE^®?

This is one of the key questions asked by potential users of the format. Here are some reasons:

OpenDRIVE^® is vendor-independent and may be used free of charge and without further obligations

OpenDRIVE^® contains all key features of real road networks

OpenDRIVE^® is an established format with a broad international user base

OpenDRIVE^® is a well managed format with transparent processes for on-going development

OpenDRIVE^® has been in the market since 2006 and has since incorporated numerous user inputs arising from actual use cases.

Please check out this website to discover many more reasons for using OpenDRIVE^®. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us directly. Your support of our initiative and your inputs will be very much appreciated in our effort to continuously improving OpenDRIVE^®.
