1 Types

ASAM OpenSCENARIO 2.0.0 has a complete type system and ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.2.0 types convert easily into this system.

Values of all types in ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.2.0 in XML can be specified in two ways:

  • With a literal value

  • With the parameter reference ($param_name) , where the parameter should be of the proper type, but ASAM OpenSCENARIO 1.2.0 has no mechanism to enforce this. Parameter references are described in Section 2, "Parameters".
