Road network design tool — free, browser-based, OpenDRIVE-ready

此内容尚不支持你的语言。

drawtonomy is, first and foremost, a free browser-based whiteboard for driving scenarios. Because lanes, intersections, roundabouts, and highway interchanges are first-class shapes with topology-aware connections, the same canvas also works as a free, browser-based road network design tool: lay out the network, then export to ASAM OpenDRIVE 1.8 or Lanelet2 for simulation. No install, no account.

Building an intersection from connected lanes — topology stays correct as you iterate.
Wiring Next / Previous / Left / Right connections so the network exports as a real graph, not a pile of strokes.

What it is

Section titled “What it is”

This page is about using drawtonomy as a 2D canvas for designing road networks with driving-domain shapes: lanes that carry Next / Previous / Left / Right connections, junction templates, crosswalks, traffic lights, signs, and stop lines. The same network can be exported to OpenDRIVE (for simulators like esmini, CARLA, Autoware) and to Lanelet2 (for Autoware HD maps).

How it compares to other road network tools

Section titled “How it compares to other road network tools”
  • MathWorks RoadRunner — the de-facto road network and HD-map editor. Commercial, 3D, full OpenDRIVE 1.4–1.8. The right choice for survey-grade authoring.
  • Truevision Designer — desktop OpenDRIVE editor, free for non-commercial use.
  • LaneMaker — free, 3D, exports OpenDRIVE.
  • Vector Map Builder (TIER IV) — Lanelet2 / vector-map editor for Autoware.
  • CARLA — driving simulator; consumes OpenDRIVE for the road network.
  • esmini — OpenSCENARIO / OpenDRIVE player. Consumes the road network drawtonomy exports.

drawtonomy sits in the browser-only, lightweight, free niche. It isn’t trying to replace RoadRunner for HD-map authoring — it’s the fast 2D tool for sketching a road network, exporting it to a simulator, and iterating.

When to reach for drawtonomy

Section titled “When to reach for drawtonomy”
  • You want to prototype a road layout quickly without setting up a desktop HD-map tool.
  • You want to trace an intersection over a satellite background and export the result.
  • You want to convert between OpenDRIVE and Lanelet2 by editing visually in between — see Convert between OpenDRIVE and Lanelet2.
  • You want to design a road network for esmini, CARLA, or Autoware without leaving the browser.
  • You want a figure of a road network for a paper, slide, or teaching material.
