Nurec_eval_v2 — 59 OOD-longtail scenes (MADS schema, trajdata-compatible)
59 NRE 26.02 closed-loop eval scenes with HD-map data packaged in the MADS schema that trajdata's populate_vector_map() reads. Drop-in usable by NVlabs/alpasim — when you call Artifact(usdz).map, you get back a fully-populated VectorMap (lanes / road edges / wait lines) and the driver model gets lane-aware input.
What changed vs v1 (Nurec_eval)
| v1 (Nurec_eval) | v2 (this) | |
|---|---|---|
| Map artifact location | map_data/cf_*.parquet, dw_lane.parquet, ... |
map_data/{lane,road_boundary,association,wait_line,traffic_sign,clip}.parquet |
| Schema | NRE-internal ClipGT format | MADS format (trajdata expects this) |
alpasim Artifact.map loads it |
❌ KeyError on lane.parquet |
✅ Loads ~30–280 lanes / 10–30 road edges per scene |
| Driver model has map context | ❌ map = None | ✅ VectorMap populated |
If you only need raw NRE ClipGT data, use luuuulinnnn/Nurec_eval (v1).

Map will be auto-loaded by Artifact.map and fed to the driver as part of scenario context.
How the MADS files were produced
The included convert_cf_to_mads.py converts NRE ClipGT parquets
(cf_crosswalks.parquet, cf_lane_topology_node.parquet, cf_road_boundary.parquet,
dw_lane.parquet, lane_chunk.parquet, lane_rail.parquet) into the 6 MADS files.
Then inject_mads_map.py zips them into the USDZ at map_data/.
Key mappings:
dw_lane.currentId + chunkIndices+lane_chunk.left/right→lane.parquet(Lane.left_rail,Lane.right_rail)cf_road_boundary.road_boundary_polyline→road_boundary.parquet(RoadBoundary.location)dw_lane.lgwm_lane_continuation_array→association.parquet(NEXT_LANE/PREVIOUS_LANE)lane_rail.lane_indices→association.parquet(LEFT_LANE/RIGHT_LANE)cf_crosswalks.reference_line→wait_line.parquet(WaitLine.location,WaitLine.category = "CROSSWALK")
