a road space model transformer library for OpenDRIVE, CityGML and beyond
View Demos · Report Bug · Request Feature

r:trån reads road network models in OpenDRIVE and transforms them to the virtual 3D city model standard CityGML.

This enables you to

• inspect your spatio-semantic road space models
• conduct further model transformations with tools like FME
• perform geospatial analyses on the 3D City Database
• deploy virtual globes
• load your models into a desktop GIS

📥 Datasets

Download some sample OpenDRIVE datasets of the city of Ingolstadt from the company 3D Mapping Solutions (initial registration required). Additionally, awesome-openx provides a list of further OpenDRIVE datasets.

🚀 Usage

In order to use r:trån you need JDK 11 or later. Download the prebuilt JAR executable from the releases section and make sure that you have at least a JVM 11. Run r:trån to ...

# … validate OpenDRIVE datasets
java -jar rtron.jar validate-opendrive ./input-opendrive ./output-reports

# … transform OpenDRIVE datasets to CityGML
java -jar rtron.jar opendrive-to-citygml ./input-opendrive ./output-citygml

R:trån recursively iterates over your OpenDRIVE input datasets and creates the same directory structure for the output folder.

👷 Building

Clone the repo and let gradle build it:

./gradlew shadowJar # build the uber-jar
cd rtron-cli/build/libs
java -jar rtron-*.jar

You're good to go 💪
