With superior bandwidth and fidelity compared with a traditional point-based tyre contact patch, TerrainServerHD provides a smoother and more accurate response at ground discontinuities, where point sampling only provides stepped input.

1. Introducing rFactor Pro TERRAINSERVERHD
New from rFactor Pro, TERRAINSERVERHD is designed for off-line simulation feeding high bandwidth,
cleaned LiDAR point cloud data to your model in real-time and at up to 5kHz.
rFactor Pro TERRAINSERVERHD
 Feeds very high fidelity road surface information to your vehicle model
 Runs up to 5x real-time, on standard PC hardware, so suitable for both real-time and off-line simulation
 Integrates cleaned LiDAR point-clouds in real-time for each contact patch
 You pass position, orientation, radius, width for each tyre to define a cylinder in space.
 TERRAINSERVERHD integrates every point submerged within the cylinder and passes you back the position of the

contact patch centre and the averaged normal of every point submerged within the cylinder.

2. Introducing rFactor Pro TERRAINSERVERHD
Consider a wheel and tyre approaching a typical saw-tooth kerb
Low frequency point sampling of the kerb surface fails to catch the detail of
the kerb shape and wheel trajectory in the simulation is unrepresentative
of the true motion over the terrain.

Subtle terrain surface details are
missed with low frequency sampling,
more so as fwd velocity increases.
With rFactor Pro TERRAINSERVERHD high bandwidth cleaned LiDAR
scanned cloud point data is fed to the model real-time and up to 5kHz.
Trajectory of wheel is faithfully captured for off-line simulation and DIL
applications improving engineering accuracy and DIL immersion level.
Superior bandwidth and fidelity
compared with traditional point
sampling (larger square) means tyre
contact patch avoids stepped input.

Allows very high correlation with the
discontinuities, where point sampling that is stepped over by point based
