Breakthrough in road surface modelling accelerates vehicle development
New scanning capability enables virtual testing on different test routes and road types with unprecedented realism and speedHertfordshire, UK, 24th February 2015... New surface scanning technology is being utilised by simulator software specialists, rFpro, to produce ultra-accurate digital road models. This capability allows manufacturers to tailor chassis dynamics on ‘global’ vehicles for individual markets, even before prototypes are available, significantly improving development time and costs. “We can capture and reproduce the differences between a frost-damaged Detroit highway, a
