Abstract
Abstract:
3D-Track measurement sensor system is an innovative methodology for mobile, precise, high-resolution topology and roughness measurements of any type of road surface (asphalt as well as rough roads on public roads, proving grounds or race tracks). The measurements are used to create virtual 3D tracks for various applications in product development or racing environments, such as simulations, determination of circuit characteristics, track condition checks, etc. For any vehicles, 3D-Track opens up new possibilities of researching road influences on the vehicle and tires with respect to ride, performance and noise. 3D-Track is unique because it combines quick measurements with high-resolution images. The measurements can even be made on public roads in moving traffic.
