A custom high-fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation environment for testing and validation of Autonomous Racing software and a calibration procedure based on experimental data is presented, along with a validation study to further support the quality of the proposed framework.
Object detection and tracking are fundamental components of perception systems for autonomous driving. Achieving robust performance under adverse conditions such as limited visibility, sensor noise, and failures remains an open challenge, particularly in autonomous racing, where vehicles operate at very high speeds, experience strong vibrations, and interact under small safety margins. This paper presents a multi-modal late-fusion perception pipeline for object detection and tracking in the autonomous racing domain. The proposed system extends previous work by exploiting all onboard sensors through a late-fusion approach and a dedicated multi-object tracking framework. Independent detections from cameras, LiDARs, and RADARs are combined to provide timely and robust state estimates of surrounding vehicles. The tracking method explicitly compensates for detection delays and embeds in its model prior knowledge of vehicle dynamics and track layout. Experimental evaluation on real-world data across diverse critical scenarios, representative of challenging edge cases also in urban driving, confirms the effectiveness of the proposed pipeline and its suitability to support safe and adaptive planning decisions.
In autonomous driving development, a perception dataset is crucial, as it provides fundamental data for training, testing, and validating algorithms for an autonomous vehicle's multimodal perception systems. So far, most research has concentrated on providing datasets for well-structured urban environments. This work introduces the A2RL V\textsubscript{max} open-source dataset, specifically designed for perception tasks in high-speed autonomous driving and multi-vehicle interaction. The dataset was captured during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League (A2RL), held at the Yas Marina F1 Circuit, with participation from all competing teams. It contains diverse scenarios, including single-vehicle data at varying speeds, multi-vehicle sessions, and the full final four-vehicle race. The dataset contains almost 30,000 professionally annotated LiDAR point clouds, along with RADAR point clouds. In particular, it is the first large-scale dataset in autonomous racing to feature professionally annotated LiDAR point clouds, enabling deep learning-based perception research. The data is provided in a developer-friendly format, enabling easy implementation and evaluation in future research. We provide implementation and evaluation for off-the-shelf 3D detection and tracking methods. Although baseline methods show promising results for both 3D detection and tracking, specialized methods are required to address the unique challenges of high-speed autonomous driving.
