The results show that reliable scenario generation requires verifying realized behavior, not merely executable code, and demonstrate the value of explicit intermediate representations for verifiable and repairable language-driven co-simulation.
Air-ground transportation research increasingly relies on co-simulation, yet constructing scenarios remains labor-intensive and difficult to validate. More importantly, a generated scenario may execute successfully while failing to realize the spatial, temporal, communication, or behavioral relationships requested by the user. This paper presents AURORA, a natural-language-driven agentic framework that treats air-ground scenario generation as a process of compilation with verification. Central to AURORA is the Air-Ground Scenario Graph (AGSG), a typed intermediate representation that explicitly connects agents, aerial missions, events, communication links, success conditions, and their cross-domain dependencies. This shared representation enables simulator-grounded parsing, joint road-airspace grounding, temporal planning, pre-execution feasibility checking, trace-based runtime verification, failure localization, and bounded repair within a unified workflow. We further introduce AURORA-Bench to evaluate not only whether generated scenarios execute, but whether they faithfully realize the requested interactions. Experiments across multiple language models show that structured execution substantially improves reliability, while runtime verification exposes silent failures that completion-based evaluation overlooks. Localized repair further resolves many violations without regenerating the entire scenario. The results show that reliable scenario generation requires verifying realized behavior, not merely executable code, and demonstrate the value of explicit intermediate representations for verifiable and repairable language-driven co-simulation.
