COSMOS Synthetic Traffic Trajectory Dataset
Related releases: Earlier 1042-scene export (incl. normal split) · Real COSMOS trajectories
Description
Synthetic multi-agent traffic trajectories at a fixed urban intersection, generated by the COSMOS pipeline with Protocol V2 LLM backends and Tier-1 quality gates (geometry + kinematics).
Each scene is created from a natural language prompt and processed through: Scene Planner → GMM Sampling → Waypoint Filter → Event Reasoner → TrajNet++ Refinement.
Trajectories in agents[].trajectory are the refined (final) stage, not GMM originals.
This release has no normal-traffic split; only rare-event yield and collision cohorts.
The same scene_id may appear up to four times (one per LLM backend)—use scene_uid or backend + scene_id as the stable key.
event_time_frame and metrics are present when simulation artifacts exist under the synthesis output tree.
event_location_xy is only set for collision-style primary events.
Organization
The dataset is structured as follows:
.
├── collision.jsonl # V2V collision scenes (JSON Lines, one scene per line)
├── yield.jsonl # V2P yield scenes
├── stats.json # Scene counts and backend distribution
└── README.md
Each line in collision.jsonl / yield.jsonl is one JSON object (scene). See Fields below.
