VI-Road

VI-Road is a utility which allows you to build road models that are compatible with VI-CarRealTime and VI-SportsCar. There are a number of predefined tracks and speedways available in the database delivered with the product. To create your own road you can assemble a complete profile with different sections based on measured data or analytical descriptions. You can drive the vehicle on:

• Race tracks
• Road routes
• Ovals
• Banked Steering Pads
• Banked Chicanes

The optimal path for the vehicle to follow is generated automatically based on the 3D road profile with the Corner Cutting Tool. Smoothing of imported telemetry data is also possible.

The VI-SpeedGen event in VI-Road is used to define static limit velocity profile on a given driver line. The event uses a specific static solver (VI-SpeedGen) and a simplified model. The vehicle has no suspensions but considers the longitudinal and lateral load transfer as well aerodynamic forces. This is useful to study the impact of corner cutting on potential lap time.
