Tools

Open AD Kit uses containerized third-party tools for testing, deploying, and managing autonomous driving systems. These tools complement the Autoware components and can be integrated into deployments as needed.

Scenario Simulator

The TIER IV Scenario Simulator enables users to test their autonomous driving system in a virtual environment. It uses a scenario runner to execute more complex simulations based on predefined scenarios, and it can be used both in CI and on a local machine.

Open AD Kit deployments use the official TIER IV runtime image directly instead of building a custom wrapper image. See the Scenario Simulation sample for a runnable Open AD Kit workflow using ghcr.io/tier4/scenario_simulator_v2.
