Carma-platform v4.2.0
CARMA Platform is built on robot operating system (ROS) and utilizes open source software (OSS) that enables Cooperative Driving Automation (CDA) features to allow Automated Driving Systems to interact and cooperate with infrastructure and other vehicles through communication.
CARMA cooperative perception stack

The carma_cooperative_perception package contains the cooperative perception stack used in CARMA Platform. It wraps the multiple_object_tracking library in a ROS 2 interface. The stack provides two main functionalities. The multiple object tracking functionality aggregates object data from incoming Sensor Data Sharing Messages (SDSMs), Basic Safety Messages (BSMs), and local sensors. The sensor data sharing functionality broadcasts SDSMs containing object data generated by the host’s local sensors. Parts of the stack can be disabled to support CARMA Platform vehicles with different sensor and computational capabilities. CARMA Platform deployments that include this package can collaborate with other agents that also share object tracking information to compose a cooperative perception network.

‍[!IMPORTANT]\ Current limitations: The package currently does not support BSMs.
