Description
Summary:The planning and design process for training circuits for the automobile industry has not used any standard methodology anywhere in the past. The new 3D alignment for a training course consists of measured individual elements from existing tracks combined with newly marked sequences of elements (generalized spline function). To drive the training circuit at maximum speed along sections, the driver uses the course's full width and seeks a racing line that most closely matches the ideal theoretical. Zwickau University has developed a new interactive design methodology by using driving simulation to prevent accidents on training circuits as far as possible.
