abstract = {The Verification and Validation (V&V) lifecycle for an Automated Driving System (ADS) has evolved to use scenarios as its basis for evaluating functional correctness and its safety. A scenario describes scenery (road and junction layout), environmental conditions, and behaviour of road-actors (vehicles or pedestrians). Due to the variety of V&V stakeholders, scenario descriptions must be accessible, easy to specify, readable, and executable in simulation. The existing standards for scenario specification are the ASAM OpenX (OpenScenario and OpenDrive) languages which use the Extensible Markup Language (XML). The inherent structure of XML affects ease of specification and readability; nonetheless, they have wide simulation tool support. The two-level WMG-SDL scenario concept addresses the problem of ease of specification and readability, but scenarios written therein were (until now) not compatible with ASAM OpenX languages. This article bridges this gap by providing a methodology and tool for translating scenarios in WMG-SDL to OpenX equivalents. The tool uses the Eclipse xText framework for parsing WMG-SDL and implementing the scenario translator. We discuss how different syntactic elements in WMG-SDL are translated into OpenX formats and associated challenges. The translation is applied to benchmark scenario sets, (1) Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS) (UNECE Reg. 157) scenarios, and (2) Low-Speed Automated Driving system (LSAD) (ISO 22737) scenarios.},
