OSC2Runner: OpenSCENARIO 2.x Compliant High-Fidelity AV Simulation in CARLA

Published June 26, 2026 · Category: Robotics

Overview

arXiv:2606.26533v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scenario-Based Testing predominantly relies on the legacy ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.x XML standard because existing continuous simulation frameworks lack native execution support for the recently matured v2.x Domain-Specific Language (DSL). Adapting legacy interpreters to evaluate v2.x logic introduces spatiotemporal drift, asynchronous event latencies, and artificial kinematic snapping. Addressing this execution gap, OSC2Runner introduces the first orchestration framework capable of natively mapping the OpenSCENARIO v2.x DSL to CARLA. The framework achieves this by formalizing scenario translation as a compilation pipeline through a multi-pass transpiler architecture. Bypassing static trajectory playback, the architecture synthesizes type-safe Abstract Syntax Trees directly into dynamic deterministic behavior trees (py_trees) natively mapped to CARLA's atomic APIs. Empirical validation in highly concurrent adversarial case studies demonstrates tick-by-tick determinism, exact spatial trigger evaluation, and 100.0 ms cross-actor blackboard synchronization. Kinematic analysis proves the strict adherence to continuous environmental boundaries. This architecture transitions Scenario-Based Testing from approximate behavioral interpretation to mathematically rigorous execution, establishing the deterministic backend required for co-simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and automated LLM-driven generation pipelines.
