Why Ozone

What We Solve

Autonomous driving research is held back by fragmented, incompatible data sources. Traditional approaches fail to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds.

ISSUE 01

Heterogeneous Data Slices

Drone footage, RSU feeds, vehicle trajectories, and simulation outputs exist in incompatible formats with no unified schema.

ISSUE 02

No Real-to-Digital Mapping

Existing benchmarks lack precise 1:1 correspondence between real-world locations and their digital twin counterparts, limiting research validity.

ISSUE 03

Fragmented Toolchains

Researchers juggle disconnected tools for simulation, sensor modeling, and scenario testing — wasting months on integration instead of innovation.

The Solution

One cohesive digital twin ontology system.

Ozone maps real-world traffic to high-fidelity digital twins, unifying multi-sensor data into a single research framework.

System Architecture

From heterogeneous data sources to digital twin basemaps, CARLA co-simulation, and platform capabilities.

Aerial Trajectory Extraction

Bird's-eye view captures of real traffic flow, enabling precise trajectory extraction and scene understanding at scale.

Autonomous Driving Data

Large-scale, multi-modal datasets that capture the full complexity of real-world driving — from high-resolution LiDAR point clouds and camera imagery to lane-level vehicle trajectories and object interactions. Designed to accelerate research in perception, prediction, and motion planning for autonomous vehicles.
