carla 0.9.4

Python API for communicating with the CARLA server.

This is the Python package for the CARLA Python API used for controlling and communicating-with CARLA - The open-source simulator for autonomous driving research.

This package allows you to control the CARLA simulator and retrieve simulation data through the Python API. For instance, you can control any actor (vehicle, pedestrian, traffic light, etc...) in the simulation, attach sensors to vehicles, and read the sensor data etc.

For more information, refer to the Guide for getting started with CARLA.

Usage:

1. Install: pip install carla
2. Use:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import carla
...

Python API tutorial

In this tutorial we introduce the basic concepts of the CARLA Python API, as well as an overview of its most important functionalities. The reference of all classes and methods available can be found at Python API reference.

!!! note This document applies only to the latest development version.
The API has been significantly changed in the latest versions starting at 0.9.0. We commonly refer to the new API as 0.9.X API as opposed to the previous 0.8.X API.

First of all, we need to introduce a few core concepts:

• Actor: Actor is anything that plays a role in the simulation and can be moved around, examples of actors are vehicles, pedestrians, and sensors.
• Blueprint: Before spawning an actor you need to specify its attributes, and that's what blueprints are for. We provide a blueprint library with the definitions of all the actors available.
• World: The world represents the currently loaded map and contains the functions for converting a blueprint into a living actor, among other. It also provides access to the road map and functions to change the weather conditions.

Connecting and retrieving the world

To connect to a simulator we need to create a "Client" object, to do so we need to provide the IP address and port of a running instance of the simulator

client = carla.Client('localhost', 2000)

The first recommended thing to do right after creating a client instance is setting its time-out. This time-out sets a time limit to all networking operations, if the time-out is not set networking operations may block forever

client.set_timeout(10.0) # seconds

Once we have the client configured we can directly retrieve the world

world = client.get_world()

Typically we won't need the client object anymore, all the objects created by the world will connect to the IP and port provided if they need to. These operations are usually done in the background and are transparent to the user.

Blueprints

A blueprint contains the information necessary to create a new actor. For instance, if the blueprint defines a car, we can change its color here, if it defines a lidar, we can decide here how many channels the lidar will have. A blueprints also has an ID that uniquely identifies it and all the actor instances created with it. Examples of IDs are "vehicle.nissan.patrol" or "sensor.camera.depth".

The list of all available blueprints is kept in the blueprint library

blueprint_library = world.get_blueprint_library()

The library allows us to find specific blueprints by ID, filter them with wildcards, or just choosing one at random

# Find specific blueprint.
collision_sensor_bp = blueprint_library.find('sensor.other.collision')
# Chose a vehicle blueprint at random.
vehicle_bp = random.choice(blueprint_library.filter('vehicle.bmw.*'))

Some of the attributes of the blueprints can be modified while some other are just read-only. For instance, we cannot modify the number of wheels of a vehicle but we can change its color

vehicles = blueprint_library.filter('vehicle.*')
bikes = [x for x in vehicles if int(x.get_attribute('number_of_wheels')) == 2]
for bike in bikes:
    bike.set_attribute('color', '255,0,0')

Modifiable attributes also come with a list of recommended values

for attr in blueprint:
    if attr.is_modifiable:
        blueprint.set_attribute(attr.id, random.choice(attr.recommended_values))

The blueprint system has been designed to ease contributors adding their custom actors directly in Unreal Editor, we'll add a tutorial on this soon, stay tuned!

Spawning actors

Once we have the blueprint set up, spawning an actor is pretty straightforward

transform = Transform(Location(x=230, y=195, z=40), Rotation(yaw=180))
actor = world.spawn_actor(blueprint, transform)

The spawn actor function comes in two flavours, spawn_actor and try_spawn_actor. The former will raise an exception if the actor could not be spawned, the later will return None instead. The most typical cause of failure is collision at spawn point, meaning the actor does not fit at the spot we chose; probably another vehicle is in that spot or we tried to spawn into a static object.

To ease the task of finding a spawn location, each map provides a list of recommended transforms

spawn_points = world.get_map().get_spawn_points()

We'll add more on the map object later in this tutorial.

Finally, the spawn functions have an optional argument that controls whether the actor is going to be attached to another actor. This is specially useful for sensors. In the next example, the camera remains rigidly attached to our vehicle during the rest of the simulation

camera = world.spawn_actor(camera_bp, relative_transform, attach_to=my_vehicle)

Note that in this case, the transform provided is treated relative to the parent actor.

Handling actors

Once we have an actor alive in the world, we can move this actor around and check its dynamic properties

location = actor.get_location()
location.z += 10.0
actor.set_location(location)
print(actor.get_acceleration())
print(actor.get_velocity())

We can even freeze an actor by disabling its physics simulation

actor.set_simulate_physics(False)

And once we get tired of an actor we can remove it from the simulation with

actor.destroy()

Note that actors are not cleaned up automatically when the Python script finishes, if we want to get rid of them we need to explicitly destroy them.

!!! important Known issue: To improve performance, most of the methods send requests to the simulator asynchronously. The simulator queues each of these requests, but only has a limited amount of time each update to parse them. If we flood the simulator by calling "set" methods too often, e.g. set_transform, the requests will accumulate a significant lag.

Vehicles

Vehicles are a special type of actor that provide a few extra methods. Apart from the handling methods common to all actors, vehicles can also be controlled by providing throttle, break, and steer values

vehicle.apply_control(carla.VehicleControl(throttle=1.0, steer=-1.0))

These are all the parameters of the VehicleControl object and their default values

carla.VehicleControl(
    throttle = 0.0
    steer = 0.0
    brake = 0.0
    hand_brake = False
    reverse = False
    manual_gear_shift = False
    gear = 0)

Also, physics control properties can be tuned for vehicles and its wheels

vehicle.apply_physics_control(carla.VehiclePhysicsControl(max_rpm = 5000.0, center_of_mass = carla.Vector3D(0.0, 0.0, 0.0), torque_curve=[[0,400],[5000,400]]))

These properties are controlled through a VehiclePhysicsControl object, which also contains a property to control each wheel's physics through a WheelPhysicsControl object.

carla.VehiclePhysicsControl(
    torque_curve,
    max_rpm,
    moi,
    damping_rate_full_throttle,
    damping_rate_zero_throttle_clutch_engaged,
    damping_rate_zero_throttle_clutch_disengaged,
    use_gear_autobox,
    gear_switch_time,
    clutch_strength,
    mass,
    drag_coefficient,
    center_of_mass,
    steering_curve,
    wheels)

Where:

• torque_curve: Curve that indicates the torque measured in Nm for a specific revolutions per minute of the vehicle's engine

• max_rpm: The maximum revolutions per minute of the vehicle's engine

• moi: The moment of inertia of the vehicle's engine

• damping_rate_full_throttle: Damping rate when the throttle is maximum.

• damping_rate_zero_throttle_clutch_engaged: Damping rate when the thottle is zero with clutch engaged

• damping_rate_zero_throttle_clutch_disengaged: Damping rate when the thottle is zero with clutch disengaged

• use_gear_autobox: If true, the vehicle will have automatic transmission

• gear_switch_time: Switching time between gears

• clutch_strength: The clutch strength of the vehicle. Measured in Kgm^2/s

• mass: The mass of the vehicle measured in Kg

• drag_coefficient: Drag coefficient of the vehicle's chassis

• center_of_mass: The center of mass of the vehicle

• steering_curve: Curve that indicates the maximum steering for a specific forward speed

• wheels: List of WheelPhysicsControl objects.

carla.WheelPhysicsControl(
    tire_friction,
    damping_rate,
    steer_angle,
    disable_steering)

Where:

• tire_friction: Scalar value that indicates the friction of the wheel.
• damping_rate: The damping rate of the wheel.
• steer_angle: The maximum angle in degrees that the wheel can steer.
• disable_steering: If true, the wheel will not steer.

Our vehicles also come with a handy autopilot

vehicle.set_autopilot(True)

As has been a common misconception, we need to clarify that this autopilot control is purely hard-coded into the simulator and it's not based at all in machine learning techniques.

Finally, vehicles also have a bounding box that encapsulates them

box = vehicle.bounding_box
print(box.location)         # Location relative to the vehicle.
print(box.extent)           # XYZ half-box extents in meters.

Sensors

Sensors are actors that produce a stream of data. Sensors are such a key component of CARLA that they deserve their own documentation page, so here we'll limit ourselves to show a small example of how sensors work

camera_bp = blueprint_library.find('sensor.camera.rgb')
camera = world.spawn_actor(camera_bp, relative_transform, attach_to=my_vehicle)
camera.listen(lambda image: image.save_to_disk('output/%06d.png' % image.frame_number))

In this example we have attached a camera to a vehicle, and told the camera to save to disk each of the images that are going to be generated.

The full list of sensors and their measurement is explained in Cameras and sensors.

Other actors

Apart from vehicles and sensors, there are a few other actors in the world. The full list can be requested to the world with

actor_list = world.get_actors()

The actor list object returned has functions for finding, filtering, and iterating actors

# Find an actor by id.
actor = actor_list.find(id)
# Print the location of all the speed limit signs in the world.
for speed_sign in actor_list.filter('traffic.speed_limit.*'):
    print(speed_sign.get_location())

Among the actors you can find in this list are

• Traffic lights with a state property to check the light's current state.
• Speed limit signs with the speed codified in their type_id.
• The Spectator actor that can be used to move the view of the simulator window.

Changing the weather

The lighting and weather conditions can be requested and changed with the world object

weather = carla.WeatherParameters(
    cloudyness=80.0,
    precipitation=30.0,
    sun_altitude_angle=70.0)

world.set_weather(weather)

print(world.get_weather())

For convenience, we also provided a list of predefined weather presets that can be directly applied to the world

world.set_weather(carla.WeatherParameters.WetCloudySunset)

The full list of presets can be found in the WeatherParameters reference.

Map and waypoints

One of the key features of CARLA is that our roads are fully annotated. All our maps come accompanied by OpenDrive files that defines the road layout. Furthermore, we provide a higher level API for querying and navigating this information.

These objects were a recent addition to our API and are still in heavy development, we hope to make them much more powerful soon.

Let's start by getting the map of the current world

map = world.get_map()

For starters, the map has a name attribute that matches the name of the currently loaded city, e.g. Town01. And, as we've seen before, we can also ask the map to provide a list of recommended locations for spawning vehicles, map.get_spawn_points().

However, the real power of this map API comes apparent when we introduce waypoints. We can tell the map to give us a waypoint on the road closest to our vehicle

waypoint = map.get_waypoint(vehicle.get_location())

This waypoint's transform is located on a drivable lane, and it's oriented according to the road direction at that point.

Waypoints also have function to query the "next" waypoints; this method returns a list of waypoints at a certain distance that can be accessed from this waypoint following the traffic rules. In other words, if a vehicle is placed in this waypoint, give me the list of posible locations that this vehicle can drive to. Let's see a practical example

# Retrieve the closest waypoint.
waypoint = map.get_waypoint(vehicle.get_location())

# Disable physics, in this example we're just teleporting the vehicle.
vehicle.set_simulate_physics(False)

while True:
    # Find next waypoint 2 meters ahead.
    waypoint = random.choice(waypoint.next(2.0))
    # Teleport the vehicle.
    vehicle.set_transform(waypoint.transform)

The map object also provides methods for generating in bulk waypoints all over the map at an approximated distance between them

waypoint_list = map.generate_waypoints(2.0)

For routing purposes, it is also possible to retrieve a topology graph of the roads

waypoint_tuple_list = map.get_topology()

this method returns a list of pairs (tuples) of waypoints, for each pair, the first element connects with the second one. Only the minimal set of waypoints to define the topology are generated by this method, only a waypoint for each lane for each road segment in the map.

Finally, to allow access to the whole road information, the map object can be converted to OpenDrive format, and saved to disk as such.

Recording and Replaying system

CARLA includes now a recording and replaying API, that allows to record a simulation in a file and later replay that simulation. The file is written on server side only, and it includes which actors are created or destroyed in the simulation, the state of the traffic lights and the position/orientation of all vehicles and walkers.

All data is written in a binary file on the server, on folder CarlaUE4/Saved. As estimation, a simulation with about 150 actors (50 traffic lights, 100 vehicles) for 1h of recording takes around 200 Mb in size.

To start recording we only need to supply a file name:

client.start_recorder("recording01.log")

To stop the recording, we need to call:

client.stop_recorder()

At any point we can replay a simulation, specifying the filename:

client.replay_file("recording01.log")

The replayer will create and destroy all actors that were recorded, and move all actors and setting the traffic lights as they were working at that moment.

When replaying we have some other options that we can use, the full API call is:

client.replay_file("recording01.log", start, duration, camera)

• start: time we want to start the simulation.
  • If the value is positive, it means the number of seconds from the beginning. Ex: a value of 10 will start the simulation at second 10.
  • If the value is negative, it means the number of seconds from the end. Ex: a value of -10 will replay only the last 10 seconds of the simulation.
• duration: we can say how many seconds we want to play. If the simulation has not reached the end, then all actors will have autopilot enabled automatically. The intention here is to allow for replaying a piece of a simulation and then let all actors start driving in autopilot again.
• camera: we can specify the Id of an actor and then the camera will follow that actor while replaying. Continue reading to know which Id has an actor.

We can know details about a recorded simulation, using this API:

client.show_recorder_file_info("recording01.log")

The output result is something like this:

Frames: 2354
Duration: 60.3753 seconds

From here we know the date and the map where the simulation was recorded. Then for each frame that has an event (create or destroy an actor, collisions) it shows that info. For creating actors we see the Id it has and some info about the actor to create. This is the id we need to specify in the camera option when replaying if we want to follow that actor during the replay. At the end we can see the total time of the recording and also the number of frames that were recorded.

In simulations whith a hero actor the collisions are automatically saved, so we can query a recorded file to see if any hero actor had collisions with some other actor. Currently the actor types we can use in the query are these:

• h = Hero
• v = Vehicle
• w = Walker
• t = Traffic light
• o = Other
• a = Any

The collision query needs to know the type of actors involved in the collision. If we don't care we can specify a (any) for both. These are some examples:

• a a: will show all collisions recorded
• v v: will show all collisions between vehicles
• v t: will show all collisions between a vehicle and a traffic light
• v w: will show all collisions between a vehicle and a walker
• v o: will show all collisions between a vehicle and other actor, like static meshes
• h w: will show all collisions between a hero and a walker

Currently only hero actors record the collisions, so first actor will be a hero always.

The API for querying the collisions is:

client.show_recorder_collisions("recording01.log", "a", "a")

The output is something similar to this:

Version: 1
Map: Town05
Date: 02/19/19 15:36:08

    Time  Types     Id Actor 1                                 Id Actor 2
      16   v v     122 vehicle.yamaha.yzf                     118 vehicle.dodge_charger.police
      27   v o     122 vehicle.yamaha.yzf                       0

Frames: 790
Duration: 46 seconds

We can see there for each collision the time when happened, the type of the actors involved, and the id and description of each actor.

So, if we want to see what happened on that recording for the first collision where the hero actor was colliding with a vehicle, we could use this API:

client.replay_file("col2.log", 13, 0, 122)

We have started the replayer just a bit before the time of the collision, so we can see how it happened. Also, a value of 0 for the duration means to replay all the file (it is the default value).

We can see something like this then:

There is another API to get information about actors that has been blocked by something and can not follow its way. That could be good to find incidences in the simulation. The API is:

client.show_recorder_actors_blocked("recording01.log", min_time, min_distance)

The parameters are:

• min_time: the minimum time that an actor needs to be stopped to be considered as blocked (in seconds).
• min_distance: the minimum distance to consider an actor to be stopped (in cm).

So, if we want to know which actor is stopped (moving less than 1 meter during 60 seconds), we could use something like:

client.show_recorder_actors_blocked("col3.log", 60, 100)

The result can be something like (it is sorted by the duration):

Version: 1
Map: Town05
Date: 02/19/19 15:45:01

    Time     Id Actor                                 Duration
      36    173 vehicle.nissan.patrol                      336
      75    104 vehicle.dodge_charger.police               295
      75    214 vehicle.chevrolet.impala                   295
     234     76 vehicle.nissan.micra                       134
     241    162 vehicle.audi.a2                            128
     302    143 vehicle.bmw.grandtourer                     67
     303    133 vehicle.nissan.micra                        67
     303    167 vehicle.audi.a2                             66
     302     80 vehicle.nissan.micra                        67

Frames: 6985
Duration: 374 seconds

This lines tell us when an actor was stopped for at least the minimum time specified. For example the 6th line, the actor 143, at time 302 seconds, was stopped for 67 seconds.

We could check what happened that time with the next API command:

client.replay_file("col3.log", 302, 0, 143)

We see there is some mess there that actually blocks the actor (red vehicle in the image). We can check also another actor with:

client.replay_file("col3.log", 75, 0, 104)

We can see it is the same incidence but from another actor involved (police car).

The result is sorted by duration, so the actor that is blocked for more time comes first. We could check the first line, with Id 173 at time 36 seconds it get stopped for 336 seconds. We could check how it arrived to that situation replaying a few seconds before time 36.

client.replay_file("col3.log", 34, 0, 173)

We can see then the responsible of the incident.

Sample PY scripts to use with the recording / replaying system

There are some scripts you could use:

• start_recording.py: this will start recording, and optionally you can spawn several actors and define how much time you want to record.
  • -f: filename of write
  • -n: vehicles to spawn (optional, 10 by default)
  • -t: duration of the recording (optional)
• start_replaying.py: this will start a replay of a file. We can define the starting time, duration and also an actor to follow.
  • -f: filename of write
  • -s: starting time (optional, by default from start)
  • -d: duration (optional, by default all)
  • -c: actor to follow (id) (optional)
• show_recorder_collisions.py: this will show all the collisions hapenned while recording (currently only involved by hero actors).
  • -f: filename of write
  • -t: two letters definning the types of the actors involved, for example: -t aa
    • h = Hero
    • v = Vehicle
    • w = Walker
    • t = Traffic light
    • o = Other
    • a = Any
• show_recorder_actors_blocked.py: this will show all the actors that are blocked (stopped) in the recorder. We can define the time and distance to be considered as blocked.
  • -f: filename of write
  • -t: minimum seconds stopped to be considered as blocked (optional)
  • -d: minimum distance to be considered stopped (optional)
