OpenCRG^® - a complementary project to OpenDRIVE^® - was launched in October 2008 and made its first public appearance in December 2008. Its purpose is the provision of an open source set of tools, data and background information for the detailed description of road surfaces.

With OpenDRIVE^® covering the macroscopic aspects of road network logics, OpenCRG^® gets down into microscopic details for applications like

vibration simulation

tire simulation

passenger comfort research
