A9-Dataset: Multi-sensor data sets for mobility research

High resolution data sets

With a constellation of 7 sensor stations equipped with more than 60 state-of-the-art and multi-modal sensors, and with a road network coverage of approximately 3.5 kilometers, the a9-dataset offers mobility researchers, industry partners, public authorities and policy makers high-resolution curated data sets created by capturing real-world traffic along freeways, country roads and urban traffic intersections. The data sets contain on the one hand labelled, time-synchronized and anonymized multi-modal sensor data covering area-scanning cameras, doppler radars, lidars and event-triggered cameras for a variety of traffic and weather-related scenarios, and on the other hand abstract digital twins of the traffic objects with position and trajectory-related information.

Current Releases

Data set Description
R0_S0 20s traffic accident scenario from the A9 autobahn.
R0_S1 600 random camera frames from the A9 freeway.
R0_S2 25s camera sequence from the A9 freeway
R0_S3 60s lidar sequence from the A9 freeway
R0_S4 120s lidar sequence from the A9 freeway

Release roadmap

The R0 set contains labelled multi-sensor data with a mix of random and sequential traffic scenarios from the A9 autobahn. The data from this set can be used as ground truth for the development and verification of AI-based detectors, tracking and fusion algorithms, and to understand and analyze the occurrence and the after-effects of a typical high speed crash incident on the autobahn.

The upcoming releases will contain amidst others, digital twins with information about trajectory and position, new traffic scenarios, longer sequences, and new locations including an urban traffic intersection. Keep watching this space for more.

Next planned release: April 2022

R0_S0: 20s high speed crash scenario from the A9 autobahn

This set contains a 20s long time-synchronized multi-sensor sequence from the A9 autobahn covering a high speed crash. The situation is captured from both sides of the autobahn using four cameras which are are mounted on overhead gantry signs. The traffic objects are labelled with 3D bounding boxes and unique ids within each sensor frame to enable subsequent object-tracking and data-fusion.






R0_S1: Random camera frames from the A9 freeway

This set contains a random selection of around 600 images from four cameras equipped with two types of lenses. They are are mounted on overhead gantry signs along the A9 expressway. The traffic objects are labelled with 3D bounding boxes and classified into one of 7 categories.






R0_S2: 25s camera sequence from the A9 freeway

This set contains a 25s sequence of images from a camera on the A9 freeway and also captures a number of lane change maneuvers. Apart from 3D bounding boxes and object classes, unique track-ids are also assigned to the traffic objects.






R0_S3 and R0_S4: Lidar sequences from the A9 freeway

The S3 and and S4 sets contain two different sequences of lidar point-cloud frames from overhead gantry bridges on the A9 freeway and are accompanied by labels including 3D bounding boxes and object classes.
