About Lanelet2
Map of Zimbabwe in Lanelet2 — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
Lanelet2 is an HD map format for autonomous driving. It describes lanes (lanelets) with precise boundary geometry, regulatory rules, and topological relations. Used in Autoware and AWSIM.
Which layers are in the file
This file for the selected area contains:
- Roads
- Water
- Greenery
Coordinate systems
WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard
Units
Meters (projected in the chosen coordinate system)

How to use Lanelet2 for Zimbabwe
- JOSM — open the .osm and look at the lanes and links as ordinary ways and relations; this is also a convenient place to edit the geometry by hand.
- Autoware — put the file into the map set as the vector map (lanelet2_map.osm) and start the planner.
- AWSIM — attach the map to the simulator scene, with or without a point cloud.

FAQ: Lanelet2 for Zimbabwe
How does Lanelet2 differ from OpenDRIVE?
Lanelet2 focuses on lanes and rules (for trajectory planning), OpenDRIVE focuses on road geometry (for simulation).
Can it be used in Autoware?
Yes, Lanelet2 is the standard map format in Autoware and AWSIM.
Where do the lane count and the speed limit come from?
From the OSM lanes and maxspeed tags, when they are filled in. If the tags are missing, values are substituted by road type: a highway has more lanes and a higher speed than a residential street. That is a sensible approximation, not measured data.
Is this a real HD map?
No. A real HD map is surveyed by mobile laser scanning: actual markings, stop lines, traffic lights, elevations. We derive lanes from OSM centerlines with a width of 3.5 meters — that is enough for simulation, research and planner prototypes.
Are traffic lights and signs in the map?
Regulatory elements are written for speed limits. There are no traffic lights, priority signs or pedestrian crossings as separate objects in the export — those are added by hand in an editor or from another source.
