Import Scene Data

Build scenes using imported GIS data, ASAM OpenDRIVE^® road networks, or HD map data

You can use data imported into RoadRunner to build scenes that model real-world locations. For example, RoadRunner enables you to import geographic information system (GIS) data, such as elevation maps or aerial imagery. Use this data as a visual reference when adding roads to a scene. To import GIS data or other assets into RoadRunner, drag the files in the Library Browser.

You can also import ASAM OpenDRIVE files, modify the scene in RoadRunner, and export the scene back to ASAM OpenDRIVE.

Using the SD Map Viewer Tool you can build scenes by importing data from standard definition (SD) map services, such as Zenrin Japan Map API 3.0 (Itsumo NAVI API 3.0).

In addition, using the Scene Builder Tool, you can build scenes by importing data from high definition (HD) map services, such as HERE HD Live Map, and TomTom HD Map. Use of this tool requires RoadRunner Scene Builder Add-On.

To get started working with imported GIS data, use the World Settings Tool to set the geographic limits of the scene.
