Abstract:This report provides a summary of a set of tools that can be used to automate the process
of generating roadway surfaces from alignment and texture information. The tools developed
were created in Python 3.x and rely on the availability of two data sources: roadway alignment
in CAD format and a roadway texture in an image format. The goal behind the creation of the
tools is simplifying the model creation process by making it feasible to end users of driving
simulators to create roads without the need to necessarily understand 3d modelling. The tools
presented can be used to study curve behavior and general alignment characteristics in a
driving simulator. Furthermore, the tools presented provides a bridge that can greatly simplify
the process of sharing models between different driving simulator platforms. For example,
models produced by the tools were shared with users of the MiniSim platform which in turn
managed to run the same geometry on their platform by importing the model into their scenario
authoring tools.
