In September 2018 OpenDrive was transferred to ASAM Īnd is now continued under the name of ASAM OpenDRIVE. With the publication of the initiative in 2006, other companies joined OpenDRIVE. OpenDRIVE was started in 2005 by Daimler Driving Simulator, Stuttgart and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH. An implementation of OpenCRG into the OpenDRIVE file format specification has already been established in January 2008. OpenCRG, the microscopic brother, is available taking care of the provision and evaluation of road surface descriptions. KG, Rheinmetal Defence Electronics GmbH and VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH joined the initiative. With the publication in 2006 members of BMW Forschung und Technik GmbH, Daimler AG, DLR e.V., Fraunhofer-Institut IVI, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. The OpenDRIVE standard is reviewed and released by a team of driving simulation experts. OpenDRIVE is managed by VIRES Simulationstechnologie GmbH and the OpenDRIVE community.

Vehicle Dynamics and Traffic Simulation via a layer of routines for the evaluation of the information contained in the OpenDRIVE file. The OpenDRIVE data is made available to e.g. They do not describe the entities acting on or interacting with the road. OpenDRIVE files describe road networks with respect to the data belonging to the road environment.

The initial release of OpenDRIVE was version 0.7 in 2005, as of August 2021 the current release is version 1.7.0. Its objective is to standardize the logical road description between different driving simulators. OpenDRIVE is an open format specification to describe a road network's logic.
