roadrunner.hdmap.Lane

Create lanes in RoadRunner HD Map using MATLAB

Since R2022b

    Description

    A roadrunner.hdmap.Lane object enables you to define the structure for representing lanes in a RoadRunner HD Map scene model. You can create an empty lane in a RoadRunner HD Map and assign properties to the lane to describe its geometry, travel direction, lane boundaries, and lane type.

    Creation

    Description

    aLane = roadrunner.hdmap.Lane() creates an empty lane.

    example

    aLane = roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(Name=Value) sets the properties of the lane using name-value pairs.

    Properties

    expand all

    ID of the lane, specified as a character vector or string scalar.

    Example: rrMap.Lanes= roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(ID="Lane1") creates a lane with id Lane1 in a RoadRunner HD Map.

    Data Types: char | string

    3D coordinates of points representing the center line of the lane, specified as a three element vector, with double precision values.

    Example: rrMap.Lanes(1)= roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(ID="Lane1", Geometry=[-0.782 -1.56;50.78 23.43]) creates a lane with id "Lane1" and defines the coordinates for the lane geometry.

    Data Types: double

    Direction of travel along the lane, specified as a character vector or string scalar. The direction of travel along the lane is specified as one of the following strings: "Unspecified", "Undirected", "Forward", "Backward", or "Bidirectional".

    Example: rrMap.Lanes(1)= roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(ID="Lane1", Geometry=[-0.782 -1.56;50.78 23.43], TravelDirection="Forward") creates a lane with a lane id, coordinates defining lane geometry, and driving direction.

    Data Types: char | string

    Linkage information for the left boundary of the lane, specified as a roadrunner.hdmap.AlignedReference (RoadRunner) object.

    Linkage information for the right boundary of the lane, specified as a roadrunner.hdmap.AlignedReference (RoadRunner) object.

    Linkage information for preceding lanes, specified as a roadrunner.hdmap.AlignedReference (RoadRunner) object.

    Linkage information for succeeding lanes, specified as a roadrunner.hdmap.AlignedReference (RoadRunner) object.

    Type of lane, specified as a character vector or string scalar. Specify the type of lane as one of these strings:

    • "Unspecified" — Unspecified type of lane

    • "Driving" — Normal driving lanes

    • "Shoulder" — Lanes reserved for emergency stopping

    • "Border" — Lanes at the road borders

    • "Restricted" — Lanes reserved for high occupancy vehicles

    • "Parking" — Lanes alongside driving lanes, intended for parking vehicles

    • "Curb" — Curb at the edge of the road

    • "Sidewalk" — Lanes reserved for pedestrians

    • "CenterTurn" — Lanes in the middle of a two-way street, intended for making a turn

    • "Biking" — Lanes reserved for cyclists

    • "Entry" — Acceleration lane parallel to driving lanes

    • "Exit" — Deceleration lane parallel to driving lanes

    • "OffRamp" — Ramp to exit a highway and go to a local road

    • "OnRamp" — Ramp to enter a highway from a local road

    • "Stop" — Lane for emergency stop on a highway

    • "Median" — Nondriving lane between two driving lanes with opposite travel directions

    • "None" — Nondriving lane, used to specify space on the outermost edge of the road

    Example: rrMap.Lanes(1)= roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(ID="Lane1", Geometry=[-0.782 -1.56;50.78 23.43], LaneType="Driving", TravelDirection="Forward") creates a lane with a lane id, coordinates defining lane geometry, lane type, and driving direction.

    Data Types: char | string

    User-defined ancillary data, specified as a roadrunner.hdmap.Metadata object or a vector of roadrunner.hdmap.Metadata objects. Use a vector of roadrunner.hdmap.Metadata objects to assign multiple user-defined parameters to a lane.

    Create an empty RoadRunner HD Map by calling the roadrunnerHDMap object.

    rrMap = roadrunnerHDMap()
    rrMap = 
      roadrunnerHDMap with properties:
    
                    Author: ""
                Projection: ""
        GeographicBoundary: [0×3 double]

    Create the road lane using the roadrunner.hdmap.Lane object. Specify the lane information for the lane id, coordinates defining the lane geometry, driving direction, and lane type.

    rrmap.Lane = roadrunner.hdmap.Lane(ID="Lane",Geometry=[-0.782 -1.56;50.78 23.43],TravelDirection="Forward",LaneType="Driving")
    rrmap = struct with fields:
        Lane: [1×1 roadrunner.hdmap.Lane]
