New vehicle classification in GroundTruth for stand-up scooters

Open schmidtlorenz opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the feature

OSI GroundTruth should have adequate vehicle classifications for all NCAP targets that already exist or will be added in the future. A new relevant target might be electric stand-up scooters. The current vehicle types do not include a fitting classification for stand-up scooters. A human-powered stand-up scooter would fit the classification as a pedestrian, while a motorized variant might better fit the bicycle classification, due to its higher velocity.

Describe the solution you would like

I suggest adding a new enum for stand-up scooters in vehicle types.

// Vehicle is a stand-up or kickboard scooter, including motorized variants. TYPE_STANDUP_SCOOTER = 16;

Describe alternatives you have considered

Alternative would be using an overarching category like personal light electric vehicle, personal/powered transporter or electric rideable which would include other vehicles, e.g. Segways, unicycles and electric skateboards. An argument against this classification follows: This overarching category would be for vehicles of significantly different shapes rendering this classification unfavorable for sensor recognition.
