◆ Precipitation
Definition of discretized precipitation states according to [1].
(I = Intensity of precipitation in mm per hour mm/h)

◆ Fog
Definition of discretized fog states according to [1].
The bandwidth of thick and dense fog was adjusted to fit the German StVO regarding rear fog lights [2, 3]. (V = Visibility in m)
Visibility is defined as the length of the atmosphere over which a beam of light travels before its luminous flux is reduced to 5% of its original value (definition used by the Meteorological Office [4]). This is approximately equivalent to visibility measured in terms of the contrast of a distant object against its background.

◆ AmbientIllumination
Definition of discretized ambient illumination states: Ambient light is any light in the vehicle's environment that is not emitted by the vehicle itself.
It can include sun/moon light, light from other cars, street lights etc.
lx ("lux") is the SI unit of luminance or illumination of an area of exact one square meter, which is equal to one lumen per square meter 1 lx = 1 lm/m^2 [1]. lm ("lumen") is the SI derived unit of luminous flux and a measure of the total quantity of visible light emitted by a source. The lumen is defined in relation to cd ("candela") as 1 lm = 1 cd sr, where sr denotes steradian, the unit of solid angle used in 3D geometry analogous to the radian [1].
Categorization is done based on natural day/night time illuminance levels [2] and standards for required lighting levels on roads [2, 3, 4, 5].

Member Data Documentation
◆ ambient_illumination
optional AmbientIllumination osi3::EnvironmentalConditions::ambient_illumination = 1 |
The ambient illumination of the environment.
◆ time_of_day
optional TimeOfDay osi3::EnvironmentalConditions::time_of_day = 2 |
The time of day at the host vehicles location.
◆ unix_timestamp
optional int64 osi3::EnvironmentalConditions::unix_timestamp = 8 |
The unix timestamp describes the time and date at the host vehicle's location, referring to UTC.
The Unix epoch (or Unix time or POSIX time or Unix timestamp) is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT [1]), not counting leap seconds [2]. Historically, the origin of UNIX system time was referred to as "00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970" [2]. Literally speaking the epoch is Unix time 0 (midnight 1/1/1970), but 'epoch' is often used as a synonym for 'Unix time'. Many Unix systems store epoch dates as a signed 32-bit integer, which might cause problems on January 19, 2038 (known as the Year 2038 problem or Y2038).
- Note
- You can convert the timestamp using the following routines sorted by languages.

- For OpenDRIVE and OpenSCENARIO there is no direct counterpart.
- For non-ASAM standards, it is implementation-specific how source_reference is resolved.
- The value has to be repeated because one object may be derived from more than one origin source, for example, from a scenario file and from sensors.
