TLDR
OVPD is a new virtual-physical fusion dataset for autonomous driving, offering high-fidelity, replayable, and diagnosable testing data.
Key contributions
- Integrates real-vehicle-in-the-loop testing with virtual background traffic and V2I perception.
- Contains 20 clips from 20 teams, nearly 3 hours of multi-modal data for AD validation.
- Supports long-tail planning, decision-making, and comprehensive assessment across safety, efficiency, and comfort.
- Provides actionable evidence for failure diagnosis and iterative algorithm improvement.
Why it matters
Existing AD datasets lack real vehicle dynamics and closed-loop interaction, limiting deployment readiness. OVPD addresses this by providing a high-fidelity, interactive testing environment. This enables robust validation and diagnosis of autonomous driving algorithms, accelerating their development and safety.
Original Abstract
The rapid iteration of autonomous driving algorithms has created a growing demand for high-fidelity, replayable, and diagnosable testing data. However, many public datasets lack real vehicle dynamics feedback and closed-loop interaction with surrounding traffic and road infrastructure, limiting their ability to reflect deployment readiness. To address this gap, we present OVPD (OnSite Virtual-Physical Dataset), a virtual-physical fusion testing dataset released from the 2025 OnSite Autonomous Driving Challenge. Centered on real-vehicle-in-the-loop testing, OVPD integrates virtual background traffic with vehicle-infrastructure perception to build controllable and interactive closed-loop test environments on a proving ground. The dataset contains 20 testing clips from 20 teams over a scenario chain of 15 atomic scenarios, totaling nearly 3 hours of multi-modal data, including vehicle trajectories and states, control commands, and digital-twin-rendered surround-view observations. OVPD supports long-tail planning and decision-making validation, open-loop or platform-enabled closed-loop evaluation, and comprehensive assessment across safety, efficiency, comfort, rule compliance, and traffic impact, providing actionable evidence for failure diagnosis and iterative improvement.
